Incest, Professional

Never date another librarian. It's just sick. Plus the pillow talk would be b-o-r-i-n-g.

Also...

Never marry another librarian. Should you manage to reproduce together, your children will be misshapen. If you have no other options, just stay at home with your seven cats.

I bet everyone knows at least one librarian who is married to another librarian.

We do. Apparently, they even got married in a library, the sick bastards.

Men in library school never had problems getting a date. I was always surprised how many women were willing to date a lame male librarian. Then the girl coffee conversations would be like, "Do you think he is gay?"

Hey, I know what Library Schools need, a new slogan, "Guys, Having problems getting laid? Become a librarian!"

I married another librarian. The merger of our personal book collections caused endless fighting! Dewey or LC? His were already in his own personal OPAC and he resented having to catalog mine (I am *so* not a cataloger). But at least we got to throw away one copy of AACR2. And the make-up sex is fabulous!

Besides, you can share great laughs over crazy patrons. Make out during the plenary sessions at ALA. Bitch about your evil boss and know he understands. Male librarians make great husbands because they work with so many other women, there's bound to be at least one who is a bigger nag than you are!

Anecdotally speaking, it seems librarian couples rarely have kids. I daren't forward a theory.

Ok, I'll be the Pollyanna. All of the librarian couples I know are so nice, especially the greying ones. Does that make me skeevy by association? Ah well.

I married a Librarian, and even have kids. I'm public and she is hospital, it is a good thing to have a walking medical source at home.

Kids turned out OK. Two definite geeks (one a computer programer, the other an engineer). The "baby" is about to be a junior in college. She is the one most likely to become a librarian. #1 is engaged to another computer geek.

Being married to a librarian turns you into a geek. I knew what LC stood for, and I've never taken a cataloguing course! I blame the hubby.

I am dating a librarian. We're both catalogers. You better believe the pillow-talk about uniform titles is pretty hot.

Off topic: I miss your old layout.
On topic: A couple got married in our library and they were not even librarians!

However, as a librarian, it is appropriate to date your student workers.

My husband and I got married before we went to library school, so I think we are exempt. By the way, the baby is a cutie.
