Many academic librarians hold the ranks as faculty. However, since their bases are not classrooms, their teaching status in the campuses sometimes causes some debates.The purpose of this article is to demystify the cultivation of a librarian by drawing an analogy with the long process of growing a tree, and also stress the importance of academic librarians in higher education in the 21st century.
