You Might Be A Librarian If.....

Seattle Librarian Danielle Dreger-Babbitt has done better than Jeff Foxworthy with her "You Might Be a Librarian If" column. I confess some of the things are accurate: alphabetized spice cabinet- guilty, change Scrabble to Trivial Pursuit and its dead on, but I have no pets named after authors.

There is a Librarian here who owns a Nancy Pearl action figure and secretly longs to be on a book cart drill team. Can you guess who she is? And are you at heart a Librarian?

You might be a librarian if:
You compulsively reshelve items and straighten shelves when browsing at Barnes and Noble
You alphabetize your spice rack (and everything else)
You own more cardigans than shoes
You own cats named "Ernest, "Kerouac," or "Flannery"
You have a secret desire to be on a bookcart drill team
You know the Dewey Decimal System by heart
Nancy Pearl is your idol and you own her action figure
You go on vacation and visit other libraries
You don't have a Netflix account and borrow all of your music and movies from the library instead
Your home library has just as many books as a small public library
You were totally blogging and social networking before 2003
You read banned books
You can kick everyone's butt at Scrabble
