It’s time to give it up for librarians across the country.
While they aren’t exactly known for being wildly humorous with their shushing and their late fee reminders, these 35 photos prove that they know how to get a laugh.
All in the name of a good book, of course.
1. I see what you did there
It’s ok, we wouldn’t have gotten around to reading them anyway.
We’re all suckers for dinosaur puns.
It just so happens that some of us would find this display helpful, thank you very much.
4. Pop culture pick-me-ups
We assume the Wookies won’t get in trouble for making too much noise. It was their idea, after all!
5. Recognizing a good photo op when they see it
This school librarian swears this photo was not staged but instead the result of a student losing her pet turtle (apparently, of the mutant ninja variety) at school.
It’s always good to check out your hair before you check out your book.
7. More puns, more laughs
At least you know the libary is never going to turn you away.
8. When librarians get disturbing
We can probably blame Groucho Marx for this one.
9. Raising awareness through kindness
That’s certainly one way to get people to take better care of their things. No one wants to fill out a police report at the library.
Ok, this one is just funny.
Why do librarians love to name their carts?
12. Don’t create a draft or an insurrection
Apparently, the library has many enemies.
We’re sensing that someone is bringing their personal issues to work.
14. They’ve got the power
To show you where to recharge. Hey, didn’t this place used to be for reading books?
15. What do they have against evil dogs?
But evil penguins are ok?
16. Clever about more than one medium
They can even make movie jokes!
17. Just wait ’til you set off the alarm by accident
Can you imagine how embarassed you’ll be when you can’t find it to return it in time?
18. They really care about your property
Or maybe they just don’t like babysitting it for you.
This librarian wears her panda hat to work, so patrons are greeted with this image upon entering the library.
20. What did Max ever do to deserve this?
Maybe he’s a bookstore cat who prefers the library crowd.
21. You better pay those fines
Sending the grim reaper after overdue books seems a little extreme.
We’re just glad Batman reads.
23. Apparently, librarians love Batman jokes
And, really, who doesn’t?
24. Library mugshots, for the serial reader
We’re loving these fiesty library mugshots.
25. We can only imagine where it leads
Does adventure lie at the end of the tunnel? There’s only one way to find out.
Well, books can warm your heart, if not your hands.
You’re always safe from velociraptor attacks at the library. Good to know!
Librarians don’t get to choose their books, so we’re betting there’s some creative stuff in the non-fiction section as well.
But what will the squirrels eat if not Keith’s lunch?
30. Sir Mix-A-Lot would be proud
It’s the song that keeps on giving.
We’d definitely get shushed for laughing too loud at this.
Just like a Tardis, books are bigger on the inside.
33. Now we know how librarians get their superpowers
Or at least their IT guys.
34. Another one for the Dr. Who fans
Stay out of the shadows, just in case. Luckily, the library has good lighting.
35. Sticking it to the video watchers
At least books still work if you scratch them.
Please SHARE this with your friends and family.
