RSS FeedShe Blinded Me With Library Science
We’re not perfect, we’re only human. Like a president (or two), we have known lust in our hearts. For many of us, at one time or another, the object of our (ahem) affection has been a librarian. Even Mrs Columbo has been known to fancy a librarian.
That’s why we were excited to see the Special Libraries Association is having their annual conference right here in DC next week. June 14th to 17th The DC Convention Center (and presumably Penn Quarter) will be teeming with librarians. We’re clearly not the only ones looking forward to this event, word on the street is that Mayor Fenty has signed a proclamation naming that very same week “Special Libraries Association Week.”
We’re not sure what to expect from a sudden influx of thousands of librarians, but we’re assuming it will be all good. We know the shushing librarian often depicted in TV and movies isn’t accurate, and Katherine Hepburn in Desk Set fighting for her job against the huge IBM computer is probably too archaic a reference for many. Besides, we don’t want to stereotype librarians; we expect next week to be poetry in motion.

those conventions are good business for the PQ restaurants. people stream down from the Convention Center to the PQ for lunch…you can tell ’cause they’ve got their credentials hanging around their necks.
