Does anybody else find it weird that Buffy walks around campus with the librarian. I mean I know he’s her watcher, but the other students don’t.
Then again, if my high school librarian was a male and looked as hot as Giles I probably would have hung out with the librarian more too. However, that might raise a whole other set of issues.

the museum illustrates the objects of which the library tells; the library describes the objects of which the museum exhibits.
