There’s a comic strip out there that every librarian should be reading, whether via RSS or by visiting their website. It’s called Unshelved and it is set in a public library. Here’s a quick overview:

“Writer Gene Ambaum (the made-up name of a real-life librarian) and co-writer and artist Bill Barnes have been publishing since February 16, 2002. Some of the stories are made up, some of them are based on real life, and some are absolutely true stories sent to us from our readers. And the stranger the story, the more likely it is to be true.”

This excellent comic strip has been around for over four years now, and they’ve got book of collected comics for sale, as well as shirts, hats, jackets, book bags, and prints of your favorite comics. Be sure to visit their site and Support Your Local Library!
