Remember that puff piece in the NY Times about the librarians that got together to drink in Brooklyn and how wacky it all was “A Hipper Crowd of Shushers”? I hadn’t followed it much since then, but apaprently this crew, The Desk Set, has been doing all sorts of fabulously fun things and it’s worth seeing how to do librarian chic right. Check out their event posters. Plus, they’ve having a holiday party, the BiblioBall, to benefit Literacy for Incarcerated Teens this Friday. If you’re in the NY area, I’d suggest checking it out.
