I thought that perhaps we were the only librarian household to own a sledgehammer for exercise purposes, but the World's Strongest Librarian has proved me wrong! I highly recommend his website; there's more to it than physical strength. (One of his mantras: "Don't make anyone's day worse.")

Another great new librarian site (although potentially unsafe for work) is the community of Librarians Who Say Motherfucker. If you ever wondered if librarians gripe about patrons and students and co-workers and directors...the answer is yes. Yes, they do.

Neil Gaiman has more books than you do. Or, at least, he has a better way of displaying them.

For the historian, researcher, or insatiably curious: the British Library's Texts in Context website combines scores of resources for your learning pleasure.

And finally, my current favorite website is The Longest Poem in the World, which combines Twitter posts into rhyming couplets. Just now they featured "through the fire and the flames we carry on!!!/Today's flavors...Peach and Butter Pecan." (So far my all-time favorite is ""You are my rock, my strength and my salvation / Whoa! Stop and Shop has a gas station?!")

Tomorrow: links from others!
