In this Dec. 5, 207 photo, librarian Shelley Hopkins poses with her Harley-Davidson motorcycle fondly dubbed "Rayce," outside the Illiopolis/Niantic Public Library with one of her favorite books in Illiopolis, Ill. Rayce (pronounced ray-see) is one of the reasons Hopkins, who celebrated her 25th anniversary as librarian on Dec. 4, said she is not a stereotypical librarian. "Librarians are quiet," Hopkins said. She jokingly says her voice and her laugh are loud, and that's part of what makes her different from the image people have of librarians, and then there's the bike and her tattoos.
