Reading is Sexy

The secret’s out.  Studious library girls have been spotted in the lingerie shop looking at…. Sexy girlie things! We are not the bespectacled turtlenecked mousy librarians you imagine, smelling of mothballs and sadness.  We are hip young ladies who wear glitter on our eyes and bangles on our wrists; we dance to hip hop, reference Family Guy, have tattoos and shop for lacy lingerie to look like fertile goddesses of Egyptian Myth or Kama Sutra.  Peach wants to defy the Vatican for being so outdated in its male exclusivity and CoCo is basically atheist.

Really, in this day and age, why are we still getting outrageous looks when we claim our occupation?  “You?  With your color-streaked hair and dangly earrings and shiny lip gloss?  But you’re so bubbly and nice!  I can’t picture you shushing or shelving… or reading literature!”  Hex yeah, these girls do ALL of that.  Though instead of shushing, it’s more like we holler across the room for kids to “quiet down over there ya jamokes!” And, we are all about our man, Billiam Shake-a-speare! 

So hang on to your hats, boys and girls!  The modern day keeper of information is here, and she is totally down.  We are navigating the technologies, the internets and reference databases.  We are also looking at the future of libraries and librarians.  These places are not just musty shelves of outdated molding books.  These are the headquarters of information navigators. 

Think of anything in the universe… anything at all.  We know how to find it.  We can teach YOU how to find it! You don’t need to scroll through Google for three hours. We will sashay in our pointy high heels down the hall and seductively allure the correct information from its designated location and give it to you - and give it you until we learn your brains out! Like the dominator, Nancy Pearl says, “saving the world from misinformation, one day at a time!” 

CoCo likes to say, “The more you read, the more you know. The more you know, the smarter you sound as you dexterously prove your argument beyond a shadow of a doubt.”  And that’s sexy.

P.S.        Make sure to turn your library books in on time or else… we may have to PUNISH you!
