Sometimes people ask me what my job as an outreach librarian is like. I can now tell them that it’s a little bit like this, though not entirely, I also work at the reference desk

RIP Janet Foster, public librarian
RIP Janet Foster Danbury Public Librarian, the librarian who once said “I can’t believe I’m getting paid to have this much fun.” [thanks rebecca]

I Love You, Madame Librarian
Kurt Vonnegut loves librarians, especially lately.
I want to congratulate librarians, not famous for their physical strength or their powerful political connections or their great wealth, who, all over this country, have staunchly resisted anti-democratic bullies who have tried to remove certain books from their shelves, and have refused to reveal to thought police the names of persons who have checked out those titles. So the America I loved still exists, if not in the White House or the Supreme Court or the Senate or the House of Representatives or the media. The America I love still exists at the front desks of our public libraries. [thanks dave]
thank you, nancy pearl
