SEATTLE, Washington (AP) -- A new action figure of a frumpy-looking librarian who moves her index finger to her lips with "amazing push-button shushing action!" is prompting librarians around the world to raise their voices in protest.

"The shushing thing just put me right over the edge," said Diane DuBois, library director of Caribou Public Library in Caribou, Maine. "We're so not like that anymore. It's so stereotypical I could scream."

The 5-inch Librarian Action Figure, which shows a bespectacled woman in a cardigan, long plain skirt and sensible shoes, goes on sale in October for $8.95.

It is produced by Seattle kitsch retailer Archie McPhee and Co., whose lineup of action figures includes Sigmund Freud, Nico the espresso stand barista, and the McPhee action figure that started it all, Jesus Christ.

Full Story

Kinda puts a crimp in my librarian fantasy ..... sensible shoes (sigh)

I think it's funny and people need to lighten up. You don't see me going off about the evils of Boston Public, do you? Part of breaking stereotypes is the ability to mock them and find the humor in them.
 
re: boston public

My boyfriend actually freaks out over this show 'cause his mom's a teacher and whenever he catches it on tv he has to start ranting and raving about it.

people *DO* need to lighten up. I can handle people making fun of me. My friend susan made me a doll based on *me* - it's sort of cool, in a creepy "miniature chicklet" kind of way.

Librarians are my kind of superhero.

I never heard them say shush, though. More on the order of, "over here, little boy".

But soft, what light through yonder window breaks?
It is the Dawn, and my Librarian is the Sun.
"We have to get you out of here, hon. In a couple of hours, patrons will be comming."

Accountants are pretty sexy too - especially the bookkeepers.
Did you know you can count using more than just fingers and toes? Learned that from a bookkeeper.
This little piggie went up the tower, this little piggy fell down, this little piggie said, Yes, YEs, YES!

oh, sorry, got a little carried away.

Maybe Rhino could draw us a pic of which finger the librarian uses to get our attention.
 
I like how they were all over the shushing action but nothing about the frumpy dress or matronly shoes:confused:
 
You know, some people get inspiration from stories and try to blunder them into reality.

But so far, none of the librarians I know will stay after. Maybe I should try the bookstores.

Thanks for the story links.
 
I once worked in a library. Do you think I shushed anyone? Ha, big doubt there. Actually, it was a high school summer job, and I put away books and helped with the little people story hour. In addition, I helped go through and catalog Civil War writings and invoices from sales of the era. Fun times!

Hugs and smiles,
Wantonica, the closet Librarian :rose:
 
I opened every closet door at the library tonight and still haven't been able to find her. Guess I'll have to try the other branches. I'll know her when I see her. That gauzy skirt is unmistakable.

Congrats, hornetsprincess on your first submissive, uh, submission. You're not really a virgin, are you? (or do you just have a really active imagination like the rest of us?) Stick around here and you'll get a lot of experience. (and welcome to the hangout)


(I took the quote posted here earlier from Anne Herbert; "Libraries will get you through times of no money better than money will get you through times of no libraries." I showed it to a local librarian and she wants to post a copy above the catalog computer - maybe I should go back there just before closing time.)

I collaborated on an SRP thread with Patrick1. This was my character. I miss her.

Perdita, ex-librarian

Cate Puss-puss O’Meara

44; Librarian at NYC Main, Circulation Manager in Local History; tall, lean and fit; very small breasts (like nipples attached to the undersides of small saucers); boy-cropped blue-black hair cut every three weeks at Bumble and bumble; dresses like a chic dyke in mourning; has lived half her life in a rent-controlled 3-bedroom apartment near Lincoln Center; subscribes to the NYC Ballet; attends Sunday Mass at St. Paul the Apostle RC church.

Knows Mr. Grey as library customer and voyeurism partner; they prefer to appear unacquainted in public. They have a very simpatico D/s relationship which is quite outside-the-box as those scenes go.
 
There was a bit of a controversy up here in the Seattle area recently when a small-town newspaper, The Skagit Valley Herald, found out about their local librarian's ... um, extracurricular activities:


Librarian's Web site draws scrutiny

"When I was young, I discovered in myself a personal aspect that was a little bit different than a lot of folks." -- Librarian Valerie Shahan

CONCRETE — Some people know Valerie Shahan as the new person who is in charge of opening the first real public library in town.

Only a few know her as Lady Jane Grey of Bellingham, who advertised her sadomasochism services on the Internet.

She pulled her Web site Tuesday after being interviewed for this story.

She said she no longer takes clients but does engage in sadomasochism privately. Activities involve giving and receiving sexual pleasure with a partner through acts of domination and pain.

Shahan did not tell her employers about this activity. What she does in her spare time is nobody's business, she said.

Library board members say they did not know about Shahan's alternative lifestyle when they hired her in June. They found out later when a tipster called shortly after she was hired.

Before it was pulled Tuesday, Shahan's Web site included pictures of her as Lady Jane Grey. It said there was no sexual contact between the female dominant and her clients, but fantasies and fetishes were explored.

I wish librarians WOULD shush people up! AT my local library, there are people talking out loud everywhere, answering mobile phones, etc, etc. :mad:

The worst I've ever seen was when this male librarian made a lot of noise himself, by walking around, shouting "DOES ANYBODY NEED ANY HELP???"

I tried telling him to shut the eff up, this was a library, and he was disturbing those of us who wanted to read in peace, and those who DID want any help, could PROBABLY look him up and ASK for help.

I was nearly banned from the library...:eek:
