Wednesday

The mornings are always hectic with only two bathrooms in the house.

Claire is really glad to see that the girls are slowly getting better results in school and to see they can establish lasting friendships.

That evening Maddy even makes a special friend.

Maddy: Hey little one, you don't have anywhere else to go to, too, don't you? I see you around the house everyday. Come here little one, I'll take care of your fur, I'm sure you're actually a really pretty boy, aren't you? Come in with me, Miss Voyante loves animals too, she'll be fine with you.

So Daishi the stray joins the family! Dashi is an independent coward and will fit in just right with the girls.

Holly: Bad boy, you're not allowed to rob the bin! Maddy got you a bowl, didn't she? Hope: Maybe he's spoiled...

That night Paige volunteered to sleep on the couch. If she knew, that Daishi had a better place to sleep then her, she would probably be against the pet...

"Respected by the characters": Paige Turner, the librarian in the Arthur TV series

Trading card of Paige Turner formerly on the PBS Kids website

In October 2012, a librarian described Paige Turner, a librarian at the Elwood City Public Library in the series, Arthur, as a "sweet, caring woman who enjoys students checking out books and who wants to help the children," adding that she is "somewhat strict" as she wants people to be reasonably quiet and behave, often respected by characters. The librarian further said that this librarian portrayal is positive, encouraging "students and children to seek out the library as a place to gain knowledge or find books/information." Turner was also mentioned by TV Tropes as an example of a "scary librarian." The latter made me question whether it would be worth watching episodes just for her, but upon reading the wiki page for her, noting she appears in 47 episodes, I decided it would be worth a try to watch each of those episodes and come to an assessment here.

This post is reprinted from Pop Culture Library Review and Wayback Machine.

Turner, librarian at the Elwood City Library, and has been described as a "minor adult character who is not seen outside of the library." Her character doesn't change much during the series, and her name itself is a pun in and of itself. A running gag is how her patrons fear her due to their worries of responsibility of failure. Over the course of the series, her hair colors changes, while she remains polite, calm, and friendly to patrons and others, wearing various watches and glasses. [1] Unlike some other librarians, she is not human, but is, rather, a rabbit!

She begins the series as a minor character in the episode "Arthur and the Real Mr. Ratburn" alongside another librarian, Mrs. Lancaster. The latter character appears later as an apartment resident, and is locked out of the library's computer network system in the episode "Arthur Makes a Movie" as is Turner. Her voice actress is not currently known. Turner has a role in a later episode, enforcing rules, and helps Arthur check out a book. Beyond this, she reminds Arthur and his friends about the time the library will close, helps fulfill their information needs, appears to remove books at the request from a parents' organization, hosts an event about safety, and has minor roles in other episodes. [2] This isn't all. She helps people get their own library cards, puts out an open call for a musician to perform at the library, asks for assistance in holding a fundraiser for a new library reading room, mentions the replacement of books with so-called "bookazines", and convinces a character to become an author! She, additionally, checks out book for patrons, is able to get patrons to appeal to the City Council so the library can be saved from closure, and deals with patrons who shush other patrons who makes "too much noise in the library." [3] She is so popular that the kids even try and set her up with another character, Mr. Ratburn, although this doesn't work because he is gay.

One moment where she shines in the series is the episode "Arthur's Almost Live Not Real Music Festival" where she sings two versions of the song "Library Card." It is a song about more books, story time, puppet shows, and offerings of the library. This is where her voice actress really comes through. At first it isn't clear who that voice actress, is however. It is confirmed that Kate Hutchinson voiced her in Season 16, and Felicia Shulman in Season 21, but its not known who voiced her in this song, as even Behind the Voice Actors only names Hutchinson and no one else. IMDB clears it up: Hutchinson voiced Turner from 1996 to 2012. That means she is the one singing here! [4]

Turner is said to be "kind and friendly to people who check out books" but not afraid to be strict, disliking those who get too noisy or misbehave. She is even pictured as an antagonist in the dream sequences the kids have, interestingly enough. This is because she is an authority figure who is in charge of the library. [5] She is not to be confused with the drag queen of the same name!

On the whole, she appears to be a much more positive depiction of a librarian than many of the librarians on this blog, perhaps on par with Kaisa in Hilda, Desiree in Too Loud, or Fumio Murakumi in Girl Friend Beta but not directly supporting the forces of oppression and censorship like Cletus Bookworm or Francis Clara Censordoll. She is not magical like Cagliostro in What If...? or Blinky in Trollhunters, and definitely not a washed up former rock star like Swampy in Phineas and Ferb. While it is not known if she is overworked like the unnamed librarian in an episode of We Bare Bears, she definitely isn't some librarian-soldier fighting enemies. That is clear.

Turner appears to pass the first tenant of the Librarian Portrayal Test, and the final tenant, as she isn't necessarily stereotypical. However, she completely fails the second tenant: that her character be not only, or primarily, defined by their role as a librarian. This is because she is, from the sources I consulted, never seen outside the library.

Onto the next post!

The great thing about being the Phoenix is each time I Rise I can change into any image I want. I have a closet as big as the universe and a appetite to make these naughty men pay that can never be satisfied. I want to know my stalkers please answer the question below.

Group Home

The city recently acquired this formerly-upscale residence for use as a group home for at-risk girls. But will the city budget actually provide sufficient funds to keep it going? Can dedicated social worker Claire Voyante, a product of the system herself, keep the house afloat and help her girls find a future? The recent addition of Holly Wood, a thrownaway girl, is straining her resources to their limits.

Claire doesn't worry about her tragic past, and neither should you. Nope, she's worried about these girls that people have never given a chance to be good - the abused, the downtrodden, the hurt. The girls say she's got eyes in the back of her head, and aren't sure they can trust her. That's okay. They will when they're ready. Meantime, Claire's got some battles to fight on their behalf.

Claire Voyante: female, adult, Sim Popularity/Fortune (Become Captain Hero) Gemini (4/8/8/3/2) Unemployed, OTH: Sports Traits: Natural Born Performer, Brave, Footballer, Animal Lover, Ambitious

Yeah, so, she stole something. It was just lipstick, don't have a cow. You've got to have the right things and do the right things and say the right things to hang with the right people. That's the only way to stay safe and get what you want.

Maddy Kroud: female, teen, Sim Popularity (Become General) Taurus (3/5/3/10/4) High School, OTH: Nature Traits: Easily Impressed , Couch Potato, Eco-Friendly, Cat Person

Someday, her father will come get her. Unlike some of the girls, Hope knows who her father is. He said he'd come get her, and he will. Any day now. She's not like these other girls. She has a future. And a family. You'll see. You'll see. You'll see.

Hope DeFirrd: female, teen, Sim Fortune (become Criminal Mastermind) Aquarius (4/4/6/7/4) High School, OTH: Nature Traits: Exciteable, Daredevil, Gatherer, Born Salesperson

Leti was abandoned into the system as an infant. If there's one thing she's learned, it's that the system is government of the kids, by the grownups, for the grownups. You can't trust Them. The nicer They seem, the harder They betray you.

Leti Go: female, teen, Sim Fortune (Become Hall of Famer) Sagittarius (2/3/10/6/4) High School, OTH: Sports Traits: Light Sleeper, Slob, Soccer Player, Frugal

Rose is afraid. If you ask her what she's afraid of, she'll be afraid to tell you. So please don't ask!

Rose Airey: female, teen, Sim Family (Graduate 3 Children from University) Cancer (6/0/6/5/8) High School, OTH: Tinkering Traits: Loner, Friendly, Perfectionist, Jealous

Paige has never been well a day in her life. Yeah, it sucks how inconvenient that is for the adults around her. Go away and let her read.

Paige Turner: female, teen, Sim Knowledge (Become Chief of Staff) Capricorn (10/1/0/10/4) High School, OTH: Film and Literature Traits: Neat, Inappropriate, Bookworm, Perceptive

Ronda has a heart full of love. So far everyone she's tried to give it to has taken it and run. She's never good enough, pretty enough, smart enough - whatever. How long before she has nothing left to give?

Ronda Corner: female, teen, Sim Romance (Become Celebrity Chef) Leo (1/10/4/5/5) High School, OTH: Music and Dance Traits: Schmoozer, Slob, Star Quality, Dislikes Children

Holly tried to like guys. She did. But girls are just...so...and guys aren't. So it appears that, after years of being a Good Girl, her entire existence is Wrong and she has no choice but to be Bad. So to hell with all of them and to hell with her too! To hell with everybody! Except Birnam. OMG what if Birnam somehow grows up Wrong, too?

Holly Wood: female, teen, Sim Family (Become Captain Hero) Virgo (10/0/10/2/3) High School, OTH: Science Traits: Neat, Adventurous, Bot Fan, Jealous

Challenges rolled for - round: Regular round: No special events - season: Large pet adoption: Your sims have decided it's too quiet without the pitter-patter of furry paws and have decided to adopt a pet. Make a visit to the local pet shop, call the pet adoption agency, or make a pet in CAS. - week: Regular Week: Nothing Major Happens -> The house will adopt a cat!
