Library Science

She Blinded Me With Library ScienceLately one of my favorite web comics, Questionable Content, has started a plotline in which the main character gets a job at "Smif" Library. Sweet! Maybe I should get a job there, Northampton is pretty happening compared to Williamstown...

I was just in Northampton a few weeks ago, and while I did not visit the Smith library, I did check out the Calvin Coolidge Presidential Library. It's hilarious. Compared to the multi-million dollar theme parks that pass for presidential libraries these days, it's refreshingly modest. The whole thing barely filled one room.

The only problem I have with the QC storyline is that he took a perfectly good shirt, see this comic, and threw in a stereotype for sale.

I see your point, but on the other hand, librarians are hot!
