Library Stuff

Knowbodies – “Being a professional, certified librarian, it took me about 20 minutes to figure out who the AL is – and my first thought was to publish that information here – not out of malice, since I really agree with much of what she says and find much of her writing entertaining, but to generate some traffic for my own blog. Why should a handful of celebrity bloggers hog all the attention? However, after reading some of the pompous, self-important screeds of those who rage rather than chuckle and/or reflect, I realized one commenter was probably right: Once “he” is unmasked it will be like one of the old wrestlers who aren’t so interesting anymore once they’re revealed to be a boring old bald guy. So, my lips are sealed, and long live the Annoyed Librarian.”

I think there is a little bit of the AL in all of us.

She blogs…”It would be great if we could unite as a country and set priorities so that, yes, urgent medical care for children was possibly higher on Congress’s “what to fund” list than library’s electric bills but our economy doesn’t work that way.”

NWFDailynews.com – “The Choctawhatchee High School librarian, concerned that someone had been removing money from the “school store” cash box, marked two $1 bills to try and catch the culprit, according to an Okaloosa County Sheriff’s Office offense report. She had a suspect in mind and photocopied the bills before placing them in there.”

I knew I should have trademarked that.
