McSweeney’s just launched Dispatches from a Public Librarian, at http://www.mcsweeneys.net/links/librarian/. Author Scott Douglas says he “will update this dispatch on a sometimes-regular basis, and will include stories about strange patrons, strange tales, and otherwise just strange things.” This is an interesting start, although when he says librarians have “been in a tiff about the Privacy Act,” I think he means “Patriot Act.” Editors? Editors? We don’t need no steenkin’ editors!

Even I wouldn’t screw that up! Granted, I did miss that when I read it last night (which means I would make a terrible editor).
I love editors, and I’m the same way. I could never be one.
