15 Photos That Prove Librarians Are Hysterically Funnier Than You’d Think

As a lifelong reader, libraries have always been places of enchantment and wonder for me. But for people who maybe aren’t as into books as me, I can see why they might seem stuffy. Depictions of libraries and librarians are usually uptight and negative.

The reality is that librarians are awesome, and they’re always looking for ways to connect with their patrons. This can lead to some pretty funny stuff. Here are 15 hilarious librarians doing their thing.

1. “Please do not let in the cat.”

2. “I went to the library, accidentally ended up in Interstellar…”

3. “Librarian humor.”

4. “My local library is taking people’s mugshot.”

5. “Every year my school’s librarian dresses up as a book reaper to collect overdue books.”
