NLS4 is well and truly over, bar the papers, which should be available soon. As usual, I have been busy since it was done. otherwise this post would have been done earlier.
At the NLS4 Cocktail Party, the committee organised a couple of icebreaker events, one of which I just had to share here. We were each given a library based pickup line and had to make up groups of people which gave us the complete set of 12. It definitely got us talking, with the pickup lines just being the means of starting the discussion.
Anyway, here for all to share, grin, smirk and groan at are those pickup lines. Enjoy!
- Pardon me, could you please tell me what kind of card I need to check you out?
- You must have been burning books, because youre looking hot.
- Libraries should allow food in the buildings, because right now I could just eat you up.
- I know what I need to access the Internet, but what do I need to access your heart?
- What book would you recommend to help me sweep you off your feet?
- Can you tell me how to spell love? Im writing a letter to you.
- You must work at a busy library, because baby you just increased my circulation.
- Are you a librarian? Well I really need to be shushed.
- Id catalogue you under Desirable.
- Youre a librarian? If my library lady looked like you growing up, I wold have been an avid reader.
- Can you tell me where I can find books on overcoming a deeply passionate love I have for a librarian?
- Can you settle a bet? My friend says librarians have no life, but I say theyre wild beasts. Can I take you out for to dinner and prove my friend wrong?
