Men of the Stacks! The 2012 Hot Librarians Calendar is Out!

Hot slim word nerds in glasses, brainy bears, bubbling bibliophiles, old-school Dewey decimal dads, and more. Who? What? What?!

They say: “We are educators, programmers, project managers, entrepreneurs, program coordinators, contractors, consultants, and speakers. We are academics. We are authors, diversity officers, historians, administrators, deans, professors, and researchers. We are creatives. We are musicians, bakers, painters, and storytellers. We are athletes, yogis, gym-rats, runners, and hikers. We are passionate. We are dog-lovers, radicals, conservatives, Christians, and Buddhists. We are in our twenties. We are in our forties. We are in relationships. We are perpetual bachelors. We are privileged beings who try to use their advantages to better the lives of others.

Who are we? We are The Men of the Stacks” Get the calendar here.

Private Parts for the taking…

This VHS tape has been languishing in the landing of my building for nearly a week, looking for a new home. Any takers? Apparently Howard Stern’s Private Parts have lost their appeal, if they ever had any…
