c2e2 2012: A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Library

Gene Ambaum & Bill Barnes, librarians who are also cartoonists of Unshelved.

Reading is good no matter what kids read.

Book talks should also be about books kids want to read Preacher is a modern-day War and Peace for middle school kids!

Unshelved Book Club has has tons of guest artists, full page cartoons advertise book clubs nicely, helps kids to pick up Between a Rock and a Hard PlaceHere's a fuller list, since it's not easy to find.

The Homeless can be funny -- most of the situations have happened in their library, like the homeless person who lived in the ceiling.

A lot of people don't get their cartoons.  Even regular readers.  This was a tough, but hilarious one.  Easy for men to relate to.

Universal is that people are the same all over, no matter the library, country, etc.  Many libraries have had books returned with bacon as a bookmark.

Budget Cuts -- "for a good time call" on the bathroom wall to get hashmarks on those reference sheets during "sweeps week."
