I once was talking to a librarian friend of mine about putting a librarian bumper sticker on our cars. She snubbed the idea and said “I don’t self-identify as a librarian”. And I’m kinda like, why not?
Hey, if you don’t want to tell the world what you do for a living, that’s cool. But I like to think that it helps the profession and libraries when we pop up in seemingly unlikely places and announce ourselves.
I took The Dude to seeing Flogging Molly as a late Christmas present. When I was trying to figure out what to wear, he said “Why don’t you wear your Naughty Librarian shirt? It’s hilarious”. So on went the shirt. A couple people came up to me at the concert, people were constantly reading it and I heard a couple mutters of “That’s awesome”.
You, too, can but aside the shushy bunhead stereotypes and show people that librarians aren’t just sitting behind their desks knitting! C’mon…make a punk kid smile today!
Flogging Molly – cool!! I LOVE that shirt – may have to get one stat!
olah! I’m a Filipino Librarian..I love the shirt..is it for free? lol ! well, if it is…thanks in advance…!
I wish the shirts were free! But you can buy them at http://www.cafepress.com!
Hey, I have something for free for librarians.
My librarian asked me to put together a party planner for our library’s upcoming Twilight/New Moon party. So I typed up a bunch of games, treats, and prize ideas. You can download it off my blog.
But I know it’s rude to snag traffic from here, so I won’t post my URL. If you’re interested, just click my name. That should work. If not, just google me. My site is called Passing Love Notes.
Heh! 3 cheers! I agree. What’s wrong with a little fun with one of the oldest sexy stereotypes. Maybe it’s because I’m a male? many if my female colleagues agree too. But heck it worked for the firefighters and grannies! – Al Smith
