Librarians on Film (No Scrotum Visible!)

Before you get settled into your desk and back to work, we’ve got a cute 5-minute film from Williams College librarian Nick Baker about the recent American Library Association mid-winter meeting in Seattle. But watch out: “The people identified as ‘hipster librarians’ are, in fact, not librarians at all, but publishing people,” says Emily Cook of Milkweed, the tipster who alerted us to this YouTube gem, “namely Andrew Dunn from Frances Lincoln-UK (John Lennon hair; sky blue corduroy) and Heather Cameron of PGW (blonde hair).” (And keep an eye out for Cook in that segment as well…)

And when you’re done watching that, Baker really cracked us up with “The L-Team,” his guide to the Williams library staff.
