Be one of the first 10 people to identify the books of the call numbers mentioned in the song, Addy Will Know, and win a CD by the Indie Pop Band SNMNMNM. O.k., I never heard of them, either, but the mother of one of the band members wrote me to promote this song… and hey, she’s a librarian, and the music is head-bopping enjoyable, and the depiction of librarians feels authentic: not perniciously frumpy or fake-hip, but focused on the way we help people find stuff.
The B-side features their dance single, “I was Hopin’ for Earl, and Then I Metasearch.” (All right, maybe not…)
this is true: the band also invites you to encourage college stations to play “Addy Will Know.” And why not?

addywillknow, the cute song about a librarian is not what I would have expected a pop group to write about. I liked it and it is refreshing to know that someone is willing to write a song that does not incorporate stereotypical things about librarians.
