    Is STM a passiveaggressivenotes.com fan too? Today's note just happened to be about a librarian!

    Hail the librarian! Load-bearing pillars of knowledge! (Please don't hurt me.)

    As a bookish person....I could hug STM for demanding respect towards librarians. :D. Lol

    Both glorious gems of... wisdom? Hilarity? Chocolate Mousse? Ok, maybe not that last one, but now I'm hungry.

    A comment on the issue of library closures in the U.K., perhaps? By the by, I want a "Respect librarians, or I'll kick you in the nuts" T-shirt!

    As a librarian, I wholly endorse STM's sentiment. There is an essay that echoes this sentiment, too, that can be found at: http://librarianavengers.org/worship-2/

    No love for us library clerks? The ones who do all the checking out, checking in, and get all the verbal abuse over a 25 cent fine?

    You need to have that on a plaque or a magnet so I can buy one for my librarian coworkers.

    Pretty sure that first one needs to be a shirt...

    "keymaster of bookish power" will now be my byline and epithet! :)

    Librarian t-shirt please.

    Both are such masterpieces of insight, they both deserve to grace any and all merchandise! The first is a perfect description of exactly what I am going through with He Who Shall Not be Named today, and I am sure we all know someone as frustrating as this. And speaking as a former librarian: Hell yeah!

    These quotes are awesome.

    My boyfriend talks in his sleep and it isnt NEARLY as awesome as STM. However, I can definitely relate to some of the things. And I agree, the first one definitely needs to be a T-shirt

    YES! Respect the librarians! ;D (Or we'll kick you in the nuts). It seems strangely appropriate, and tie in nicely with my love of martial arts. >:D

    So, I expect to see these quotes on merchandise? Maybe two libarian quotes. One with "Respect the Librarians. They're the keepers of bookish powers!" and a full quote which include the kick in the nuts. ;)

    The first one is very t-shirt worthy, too.

    Maybe it's a Warhammer 40,000 Librarian. Scary power-armored superhuman with magic powers. Now that's worthy of respect.

    Somehow my über-complicated library work of today doesn't seem so bad if I can call myself a keymaster of bookish power... :D
