Funny Gifts for Librarians

Public Library Librarian T-Shirt - Master's Degree. Printer Duty.…, lifestyle photo

Librarians have advanced degrees and still spend a surprising part of the day fixing the printer. They know every patron who returns books late and every kid looking for a blue book about a dog. Gifts that get the humor of library life are a big hit with library staff.

Designs for library staff

Master's Degree. Printer Duty. is a favorite with public librarians, on a tee, mug and tote. Library Card Carrying Member is a cozy sweatshirt for anyone who treats the library like a second home. The due Friday, started Thursday night tee is a crowd-pleaser for librarians and readers alike.

Great for appreciation week and the holidays

Library appreciation days, the end of a summer reading program, or a holiday party at the branch are all good times to say thanks. A tote is always useful for carrying books between branches or home for the weekend.

For school librarians too

School librarians juggle reading time, research help and a steady stream of students who only remember the color of the book they want. A tote or mug with a library joke is a sweet end-of-year gift from a class.
