this is what ALL librarians should look like

Unknown special collections librarian, The Hearst Collection, ca. 1945

am currently searching for images for the special libraries newsletter i am editing.  found this gem. I love it how this ‘unknown librarian’ is standing on a desk in her heels and a skirt. whenever i do this (for reasons of efficiency), though, I get strange looks from the patrons. see, its normal librarian behaviour! normal!

    Dear Library Temptress (teasing all those 90 year old men with a glimpse of your ankle when climbing up onto desks)

    What is your home address (send it to my email address if you prefer) – I have something of great importance to send you before your trip.

    And do you have a current phone number/email for Row and Pablo?
