LIBRARY CORNER
Library Myth-Busters
By APRIL VOMFELL ImagineIF Libraries
Libraries are boring, too quiet and full of mean people wearing car- digans? I’m here to bust up all those old myths.
Cardigans. This one is real. Li- braries are often in large, old build- ings with uncertain temperatures. A cardigan makes good sense. Librar- ians who are extra-cold can follow the example of Amy from “The Big Bang Theory,” who says, “What’s un- der my cardigan? Another cardigan.”
Shh. These days it’s OK not to whisper. The funny thing is that most shushing happens from one li- brary user to another. And not nec- essarily following generational lines; a 2-year-old is just as likely to shush as an 82-year-old.
Reading all the books. Library workers don’t get to read all the books. Alas! When we’re not help- ing people find ideas and informa- tion, we’re ordering new books and
media, planning and hosting pro- grams for kids and teens and adults, managing technology and budgets and schedules, and doing high-level planning and administrative work. Oh yeah, and handling the boatloads of items that flow in and out of the li- brary all day, every day.
Boorrring. Nobody uses the li- brary anymore, right? Wrong-o! Ev- ery day hundreds of people visit the library. Kids play and make noise, anyone can bring snacks, and you can check out things like “Badass Lego Guns” and “Grow Your Own Drugs.”
Glasses. About 60 percent of people wear glasses. So the chance that a librarian will wear glasses? Hmm...about 60 percent.
For more library wardrobe myth- busting, check out librarianward- robe.com, where it’s “not always buns and sensible shoes.” Although we do enjoy our sensible shoes.
