You’re Invited! – This Is What a Librarian Looks Like
I’m so excited to announce this new project! As the ultimate compliment to Library Day in the Life we bring you This is What a Librarian Looks Like!
What: a site to go beyond the bun and challenge old, outdated librarian stereotypes with photos of real librarians in their real lives doing real stuff 
Who: YOU! The site is up and running and ready for submissions. So find a picture that you think best represents you to the world and submit it! Please don’t submit photos of others and be tasteful! This is a fun, light-hearted project, please approach it in that spirit!
Where: This is What a Librarian Looks Like!
When: NOW! Go submit something already!
Your editors are Bobbi Newman and Erin Downey Howerton and we’ll be approving submissions as fast as we can!
Inspired by is What a Scientist Looks Like.

But what if I do look like a stereotypical librarian?
We’ve got plenty of those too! Everyone’s welcome! This is just a fun project.
Just sent from Spain. Good idea!
Thank you! And thank you for submitting. Love the food blog!
Thanks
I hope you get some submissions from male librarians. They’re a rare breed but they do exist!
We have a quite a few submissions from male librarians! Probably a disproportionate amount now that I think about it
A mixture of Mr. Clean, Mr. Fix-it, Mr. Know-it-all, combined with LeVar Burton and Bill Gates!
How can we edit our caption? Thanks.
Unfortunately there isn’t a way for submitters to edit their photos and captions after they have been submitted. You can email me the details and I can edit it.
