portrait of the librarian at a young age
Today is my birthday. I am 38. It’s been a pretty good day so far. One of the places I am going today is the library.
Our Work and How We Do It
I went to teach a class in Internet Safety at the Ainsworth Public Library in Williamstown. While I was there, the librarian showed me her chart of all the jobs she does. She sometimes has to go back and forth with her Board of Trustees because they think certain things are her job that aren’t, or they don’t want her to do certain things that really should be part of her job. This is her outline. Every separate color is a different set of responsibilities. You may have to blow it up sort of largeish to read it. This librarian works about 20 hours a week.

“Yesterday, an 80-year-old librarian broke my penis.” (link 100% safe for work unless the word penis isn’t safe for work, in which case you’re sort of screwed already aren’t you?)
the mystery of the wire loop - can you help?
Help a librarian solve a mystery. Why do these London-published books have a wire loop embedded in their binding? [dust]
Are you a librarian? Do you score like a librarian?
Hey, it’s one of those stupid online tests except this one tests some actual knowledge. Take the Are You A Librarian test.
obit: Margaret Osmond, 98; librarian who lived flamboyantly
I can only hope my obituary makes me sound like as cool a librarian as Margaret Osmond. [thanks mom]
The Librarian, a good book, a realistic librarian
Speaking of reading, I am reading The Librarian by Larry Beinhart the guy who wrote Wag the Dog. It’s got a realistic librarian character who gets mixed up in all sorts of adventures. You can view a few chapters online if your curiosity is piqued.
