My Holiday Gift Guide for Librarians
It’s Black Friday and I seem to have gift buying on the brain. Thanks to Bev Butula for sharing with me the Holiday Gift Guide for Lawyers. Lots of fun stuff — I agree with Bev that the Personalized Lawyer Figurines are particularly cool.
But why should lawyers get all the cool gifts? So – I present to you my Holiday Gift Guide for Librarians!
- Action Figures
What librarian wouldn’t love a librarian action figure? Modeled after real-life librarian, Nancy Pearl, the librarian action figure is complete with shushing action. I recommend getting the deluxe model which comes computer and book cart.
And did you know that Batgirl was a librarian? Of course, she has her own action figure, too. “Barbara Gordon transforms from librarian to crime-fighter Batgirl with a flip of her cowl!” Check out the book under her arm. ALA also has a Batgirl poster.
- Books (books for a librarian – how novel!)
There are a bunch of fun books that feature librarians – too many to list. Here are a couple of fun ones: The Librarian from the Black Lagoon, Alcatraz Versus the Evil Librarians, & How I Fell in Love with a Librarian and Lived to Tell About It.
SecretStorageBooks.com sells hollowed-out, recycled books in which to hide your treasures. I’ve always thought these were so cool. There is even a selection of law books featuring various state codes and treatises.
For other book related gifts, Levenger sells a section of “Tools for Serious Readers”
- Kitschy Stuff Looks like the library enthusiasts have been busy over at CafePress.com, a site which allows anyone to create and sell custom products. They have a ton of kitschy librarian stuff. Wouldn’t the librarian-in-your-life look great with a tattoo? Well, maybe these temporary librarian tattoos anyway.
- Classy Stuff
ForCounsel.com, a site featuring gifts for lawyers, has a beautiful framed Librarian Stamp Collection. All stamps are guaranteed authentic and date from 1940 to the present.
