When I was younger, the people I most admired were librarians. They seemed like they knew everything in the entire universe. As I’ve gotten older, that hasn’t changed at all. While I may not get the chance to go to the library every day, checking in with these librarian bloggers gives me my library fix when I’m short on time.
1. Awful Library Books
Holly Hibner and Mary Kelly are the hilarious librarians behind Awful Library Books. Their blog posts the strangest, most outdated, and offensive library books that they and other librarians have decided to “weed” from their library’s collection.
