Yeah, I don’t think I’ll be wearing this to the library party:

Although, I like the skirt
But what’s up with the cape (caplet?)…is it supposed to be a variant of the sweater set?

Librarian Crankypants
Posted in Daily Life, Library, tagged computers, cranky, librarian, Library on October 14, 2008 | 1 Comment »
Why, oh why, am I so cranky?
Can I blame this on menopause? (And just why is it called menopause and not menostop, anyway…) And, at what point do you transfer from being just cranky and become crotchety? (I’m guessing this must be around the time you start using phrases like “you kids get out of my yard!”)

Night of the Snarky Librarian: Zombie Patrons from Mars!
Posted in Library, tagged go away, librarian, snarky, zombie patrons on September 10, 2008 | 4 Comments »
I must first confess that I am not THE actual snarky librarian…you should check out this very funny blog instead, if that’s what you are looking for.
No, this is just a continuation of the previous snarky themes here in my blog. Tonight was a doozy…
Look, with my background I am usually the first one to [...]
A Really, Really Great Response
Posted in Library, tagged controversy, intellectual freedom, librarian, Library, well done on August 21, 2008 | 2 Comments »
Wow! This guy deserves an award for the best response letter to a library patron. It really is an amazingly worded, thoughtful response (I know, I know, you were hoping for something snarky…best to check Craigslist for that!) to a challenge of a book about gay marriage, Uncle Bobby’s Wedding.
It’s a long-ish letter, so please [...]
Sadly, no slapping is allowed at the Reference Desk
Posted in Library, tagged asshats, librarian, Library, reference desk on July 10, 2008 | 3 Comments »
Because I wanted to slap some people today.
A nice, solid smack upside the head.
#1: A guy walks up to the Reference Desk (no, this is not the start of a joke…if only it was, people…if only it was…) and asks about a certain movie. He wants to watch Putney Swope. As I am looking it [...]
Polar Opposites: Kids DO say the darndest things…

(You just KNOW Freud would have had a field day with this illustration!)
I had two very different conversations with two kids this week at the library. They went a little like this:
Conversation #1:
After a program, I am looking at some children’s books we had set out with a boy in 4th grade. He is [...]
It’s National Library Week: But Don’t Hug the Librarian

(…unless you are Ewan McGregor, Joaquin Phoenix or Viggo Mortensen…then, by all means, give us some luv darling!)
Ran across one of the funniest videos celebrating National Library Week called “Reference Desk.”
Yes, these questions all sound familiar! I think this guy comes in twice a week at our branch…
Check out all the [...]
View From the Reference Desk: Very Dim
Posted in Library, tagged librarian, Library, stupid on April 11, 2008 | 3 Comments »
(royalty-free stock image but visit www.fromoldbooks.org anyway, OK?)
So, I am three months into the whole librarian gig and not a fresh-faced kid anymore (can you really be fresh at 39, anyway?). I still like it but I can, indeed, see why some people get burned out.
While I knew there would be weirdos, as I have [...]
Maybe I WANT to be short and stunted…harumpf!

(This bizarre and totally irrelevant image brought to you courtesy of www.fromoldbooks.org I’m guessing they send you a box to stand on
I feel a bit stunted. I’ve been going through librarian basic training this week (“Enter those books, maggot!”) so I have been neglecting the blog. In fact, I am really too tired to [...]
You’re A What?! A Librarian
Posted in Daily Life, Library, tagged librarian, new job, yea me on December 24, 2007 | 6 Comments »
Yes, as an early Christmas present to me, I have accepted a new position as a librarian! Wahoo!
It all happened pretty fast…only took 5 days from the interview to the offer. Although, longtime readers will recall that I have previously interviewed with this system (and am gearing up for more education here). They called up [...]
