I Love ALA…

come together @ your library

And I love Jessamyn, who was the first to pick up (as it were) ALA’s cluelessly erotic tagline for the 2007 National Library Week celebration. She has another image, which I warn you is not work-safe. (These two ladies at least have clothes on.)

Reminds me of the world of rose gardening, which has issued roses with names like “Golden Showers.” I just wonder if someone was having a little fun when that tagline was selected…

    SIGH - I’m so glad I’m not the only one who thought of this.

    Wow. Just wow. WHAT were(n’t) they thinking?!

    And here I thought our branch was being edgy by having Tattoos @ Your Library today! That’s not really what we called it, but we did have a henna artist come and talk about the artistry and meaning of henna tattoos across time and cultures, and give free tattoos to any who wanted them. I am now sporting a lovely dragonfly on my left ankle, which should remain in flight for about a week.

    Also, “eclectic.” In the past 3 program days we’ve been visited by:

    a team of Alaskan sled dogs (Sat)..
    Madeline, the storybook character (Mon)…
    a henna tattoo artist (today)…

    That’s fantastic! I love the sense of humor she showed.
