It’s Random National Library Week Thursday!
Have you given your librarian chocolate today?
Would you like a librarian to give chocolate to?
Because I could totally be that librarian.

The Librarian Song
Joe Uveges wrote a song for the Colorado Librarian’s Association five or six years ago and a friend sent it to me a couple days ago.
Most of the librarians I know would have been in the peeing section.
Yeah, that doesn’t sound right, but you know what I mean.
(thanks, Kev—you owe me a keyboard)
ooooooooooooooooOOOOOoooooooooooooooo
We do, Actually
(via Watson, who appreciates literacy in a tall man)
ooooooooooooooooOOOOOoooooooooooooooo
Stay Informed, My Friends
No, Paul, that’s not me. At all. But I’m flattered you asked.
ooooooooooooooooOOOOOoooooooooooooooo
Share the Love
In honor of National Library Week
The Poetry Wednesday Ode to Libraries (and Librarians) Contest
challenges you to get your poetry on!
As of this post, we already have five names ready for the Hat of Win.
You have until the 20th to post your Libraries (and Librarians) Are All That poem in the comments of the post I’ve now linked up three times in this one section.
Seriously, it’s easy:
Librarians know
Where All the Secrets Are Kept
Do not tick them off.
See?*
ooooooooooooooooOOOOOoooooooooooooooo
I Wanna Be a Bad Librarian!
Or at least work for the Jonesboro Public Library System, because they’re definitely in the peeing section.
Yeah, still doesn’t sound right. But you still know what I mean.
Wonder if they’re hiring?

Earful of Cider 
While I admit that I rarely engage with the librarians until check out time (if I’m not using the self-check out), I must say that I am nothing without my library. NOTHING.
That’s okay, Lisa—we’re here if you need us! 😀
I’m embarrassed to say that until your blog, I never realized what librarians actually did. It would never have occurred to me to ask one for help with research, I thought they were only about keeping the books organized!
Oh, Averil . . .
Forgive me.
Always.
I promise from this point forward to make use of the valuable resources our librarians are. Especially if their teeth will sparkle while they’re helping me.
We’ll brush especially for you, Lisa. 😉
I love all of you! If I were a betting girl I’d say with a few dried twigs and an eye glass you’d have a fire spitting out in no time. And you could always ring your parents. I’m sure they could do it with their eyes closed!
Dad probably could—he’d need to, because we’d borrow his eyeglasses! 🙂
Loved the line about her house pet and WorldCat! I’m in section pee also!
I’d hoped you would be, Dee. 😀
Good librarians have sparkly teeth!
Or mad Photoshop skillz. Tomato-tomahto . . .
See there you are getting my back again with the tomato-tomahto thing.
My favoUrite librarian on Random National Library Week Thursday and everyday.
‘Round these parts, we mostly calls ’em ‘maters (I kid, but not by much).
Awww, thanks, Duchess. 🙂
