Another "Hero Librarians" Article Can't Hurt!

I love sharing these.  Here's a list of 20 of us who save the world. 

And I remember Karma of the New Mutants from the old comics-reading proto-librarian I once was. 

(I also remember cataloging all of my comics back then as well, but that's another posting)

Go librarian hero image!  Here's to it becoming cliche!!

Bookmans Does Book Dominoes

In watching this amazing, well-edited video, I was impressed not only by the style, content, and pure fun of it.  But at how many of these are on Youtube. 

Apparently, people like to line books up and knock them down like dominoes. 

Try that with your Kindle.

I Guess We're Like Superheroes

Lots and lots of words recently about how we're the mightiest force of good there is.

I'll take it.

Here's a recent article in Huffington Post about academic librarians.

Good reading, makes me think Marilyn Johnson's great This Book is Overdue.  Librarians as pillars, as educators, as heroes...

Hopefully more on this soon!
