A Series of Verses Describing the Variety of Librarians

There are many librarian sorts this is true

reference, catalogers, and school teachers too

But this isn't the best way

to KNOW who they are

But with this short cheat sheet you will go far.

Typical awkward librarian males

Are skinny, obsessive, intelligent, pale

They’re good at their jobs,

I don’t question that,

But with socialization their skills may fall flat

YA librarian’s clothing is snazzy

Her glasses are stylish, her weblog is jazzy

With gaming and concerts

She gets the teens looks

But no one’s quite sure how it comes back to books

The older librarian shusher’s a throw

Back to when librarians viewed patrons as foe

Her sign may say reference

But if we have our preference

Will stick to answers we already know

Archivists often can seem rather cluttery

And reasons for acquiring similarly buttery

To those that surround them

They may seem mentally stale,

As we wait for that day when they find the true grail.

More to come!
