I still have a "Bookwoman" t-shirt that I got years ago. It's not something I wear anymore, but I can't imagine throwing it away!

Many of you may remember the drawing:

Zazzle.com also has library-themed items, such as shirts and shoes. (I have a pair of Keds with books printed all over the canvas.)

My favorite T-shirt is: I'm a Librarian. To Save Time, Assume I know Everything.

Hi fellow MEDLIB-ers,
 
There are several great options on www.CafePress.com . They already
have several librarian-themed shirts, mugs, etc. available. Creating
your own seems to cost the same as buying a pre-existing one. $24 for a
man's T-shirt, with various sizes and women's fitted ones also
available.
 
I played around with various sayings - "Librarians - the Real
Know-It-Alls" , etc. What fun! You can play with various color fabric
& text.
 
Okay, back to work and reality.
 
Mindy

Someone clever needs to come up with a t-shirt that captures this idea.
Maybe the tag line, "No I don't work here but I'm a librarian." Joy
