Lil' Snitch
an up-and-coming occupation
Williamsburg is known for cool bistros and trendy hangouts, but few realize that the neighborhood and its environs are a magnet for hip, young librarians. Although “hip” is not an adjective generally associated with librarians, a stack of archivists, publishers, illustrators, librarians, and other bibliophiles called the Desk Set is out to challenge their image as staid.
The article goes on to describe one night of fire in which the Desk Set descended on Enid’s in Greenpoint for a raucous evening of rousing cupcakes, waiting in line for beer, and mutually assured self-satisfaction.
Look at me, acting like I wasn’t even paraphrased and all.

That bearded fellow by the banner looks quite glum. He must not be an archivist!
quite a shindig!!!
The Times, ever a day late, has picked up on this wild and crazy social phenomenon: http://www.nytimes.com/2007/07/08/fashion/08librarian.html?_r=1&oref=slogin
Umm… the idea that the image of the librarian is staid is like saying the image of the school girl is a real turnoff to “most men.” It’s a great little poster though. I’m sure it got the customers in and all, what with the promises of “servicing yer needs.” Who knew? Nerds are the next awesome. Man, the zany NYT.
