“They come to learn, to network, to collect free stuff, and, possibly, to mate.”

March of the Librarians: Seattle, 2007
“They come to learn, to network, to collect free stuff, and, possibly, to mate.”
Us, next Friday.
NEXT FRIDAY, January 25, at 9:30pm at Seattle’s White Horse Trading Company(spitting distance from Pike Place), meet the tumblarians you’ve come to know and love on your dashboard IRL.
Myself (your Library Journal tumblrer), Kate (thelifeguardlibrarian), Erin (darienlibrary), Heather (cloudunbound), and LJ’s own Executive Editor, Josh (hadro), will be there. Join us! (There will be mead.)


Librarians adopted our social media presence way before anyone else. And the only people who watched us were either librarians or teenagers who heard about us through their librarians.

I really wish I was at midwinter.
I also really wish (hope? ask?) that all the great librarian tumblrs I just discovered at #alamw12 would PLEASE OH PLEASE tag #libraries or #librarians. I know there’s heaps of librarians out there, but, as we all know, tumblr is only easily findable by content. Tag yo stuff, my people.
