I keep trying to tell people how funny the library can be... Good to see that you have a blog! I read Empress (on recommendation of BITCH Magazine) and featured it for my library's Young Adult display (I'll have you know that there were two holds placed on it! Not bad for a teeny-tiny library!). I had no idea you were a librarian! That's the shit! Well, have a lovely new year. M. Testerman PS.

I have been sharing them with my colleagues here at the Riverside Public Library. I suspect they are much more amusing to us librarians than to laypersons. Hope whichever holiday you celebrate is wonderful. William M. A. Swafford, MSLS Local History/Special Collections Librarian The LC Subject Headings for the holidays were delightful.

I think my favorite right now (as I teach) is "Children in public worship -- Prevention". Or maybe "Blister packs -- Materials -- Acoustic Properties." Has anyone written (I am sure they have) on the World Shaping Power of devising LC subject headings? Because it's kind of godlike, you know. Yeah, I like those as a compendium of Christmas tropes.
