Not Your Typical Librarians

July 28, 2010

After the surprise popularity of videos like Librarians Do Gaga, I find myself wondering, do people think librarians don't have personality? Everyone is shocked that librarians 1.) listen to Lady Gaga and 2.) would make up Weird Al type music videos for her music. Why wouldn't we? Librarians are pretty cool. Gone are the images of a the shushing, old lady or a fetching librarian of romance novel ilk. I know that these perceptions still exist. One only has to look up librarian in Google and you'll understand my point. But these images are far from accurate depictions. Librarians are amiable, creative, and knowledgable. We can make you laugh just as easily as we can help you find a book. We have personality people, and we would love to share that personality with you.

I like this, it's very creative. And catchy! I am not a fan of Lady Gaga but this is an improvement to her tune.

That is hilarious! You go Librarians!

I was watching a historical video about Motorcycles a few months ago and the interviewer was going around asking motorcyclists what their occupation was....a female motorcyclists laughed when she was asked and said, "I'm a Librarian!"

So Librarians are definitely not who you think they would be typically! ;)
