Flavorwire’s jumped on the “librarians are soooo cooool” bandwagon (duh!) with this great top 10 list. I even know a few of ’em 🙂 We’ll forgive Flavorwire for being late to the party — they mean well.
10 of the Coolest Librarians Alive
By Emily Temple onÂFace it: most librarians are probably cooler than you. After all, their job is to wrangle books, attract readers, and then get the two together — one of our own favorite activities.

After the jump, meet just a few of the very coolest librarians alive — and since we know there are hundreds out there, add your favorite book lender (or yourself) in the comments.
