New Librarian Gifts! Happy Festivus!
on Nov 22 in Avenging, Halloween, Librarianship, Products by Erica Firment
Yeah. I couldn’t resist. You know how we’ve had all of this discussion lately about, er… attractive librarians and the Halloween costumes that celebrate them? So I was thinking, what would REALLY bring those reluctant readers in to the library?
Imagine a neon sign buzzing, zapping and blinking: “Librarians! Librarians! Librarians!” The library lights up outside with lurid pinks and greens. Imagine the untapped audiences of potential patrons! Imagine the circulation statistics! Imagine the improved wages once people start tipping.
Of course, a sign like this might keep away the homeschoolers, but you can’t make everyone happy, right?
Right. Hope you enjoy these ever-so-tasteful librarian t-shirts, heat-printed on a black cotton shirt.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone! If you’re in town, stop by for spanokopeta and yamfries!

Thanks Jessie! I agree that the books might frighten off the unwary, but then again, they might stumble across a copy of Mr. Darcy Takes a Wife and find JUST what they came for. :)
The Signals catalog I got in the mail the other day had a whole bunch of librarian-related gift items, including an action figure.
One slow morning, I tried to persuade our branch manager that the patrons would be fighting to get in if we put up a sign that promised LIVE, NUDE LIBRARIANS!!!!!!!
Alas, she didn’t buy it.
Librarinan rock. I would not mind my library to have nude shows. What is up with the Happy Festivus? Festivus is for the rest of us. see http://www.whatisfestivus.com
