He looked exhausted.
“Damn near.”

Scenes from Los Angeles's teacher-librarian witch-hunt
Bfarn sez, “I don’t know if you’ve been following the Los Angeles Unified School District’s witch hunt, but they’ve been trying to lay off their entire staff of librarians. They’ve been conducting McCarthy-esque trials, forcing teacher-librarians to defend both their personal worth and their district-defined credentials. One brave teacher has been blogging about the experience (as retweeted by Neil Gaiman!) and was singled out by LAUSD lawyers for her efforts. They won, and lost their best teacher in the process.”

Glad to be appreciated. Also, I am a huge geek like many of my colleagues. We embrace the heck out of technology! Via oliveryeh:
It’s been a pleasure discovering librarians on Tumblr. In the face of technological advancement and cuts in budgets, you still have the ability to find humor in it all. More power to you and thanks for making libraries a great place to chill with books. Let’s help find ways to keep them alive.
If you’re a librarian, please reblog. It would be great for the tumbling world to see your ranks.
PS. If you’re now looking up my name, I swear I’ve paid all my fines.
Interview of a Librarian

Take a break from writing to read this interview. You have to.
Because the interviewer asks, “Does your library have a glory hole?”
Thanks, Librarians.
Me too. Thank you, library professionals. Via iwillwritesomethinghereeveryday:
I would like to thank every library professional who came before me for the instant respect I’m given when I tell people I am a librarian.
