Stuff librarians like

Here is a top-ten list from "Travis," an elementary school librarian blogger. Each item is accompanied by a "Fast Fact!", the veracity of which might be hard to determine. One - sensible lunches in brown paper bags - really resonated with me. Yesssss, food you can eat right out of the refrigerator. And the fast fact: Librarian Abner Tweed went 43 years without using an oven or microwave (1961-2004). How cool is that?

Travis notes that librarians who like cardigan sweaters come in two flavors: ironic and irony-free. "The former is typically middle aged or older and enjoys the warmth that a well-made sweater provides in the chilly library setting. The latter resides in the 20-35 year old age range and is seeking to project the nerdy hipster image." I imagine you can guess which type I am.

I vote for "Laughing at obsolete technology." Trashing the card catalogue was a day to remember.
