Friday Fun Thing: Librarian Trading Cards

Okay, so Friday came a little late last week. :-)

That notwithstanding, get out your digital camera and prepare your own trading card!

Flickr has a group specifically for Librarian Trading Cards..."Librarians creating baseball-like trading cards to market their talents." Still a fairly new undertaking, this relatively small group of photos can easily be viewed as a slideshow (click on "see all X photos" then see upper right of screen). Ranging from the serious to the tongue-in-cheek and from the current ("I'm blogging this") to the notable (Dewey, Ranganathan, Casanova) to the fictional (Marian the Librarian, Mary Hatch [of It's a Wonderful Life]), this is an interesting tour through some of the (mostly) self-described and varied characters populating libraryland and the biblioblogosphere.

Enjoy!
