The American Phobia Foundation did a study on the nation's most feared professions.  #1 was Public Librarian.  #2 was Undertaker. And #3 was School Librarian. (Now we know why they don't have libraries in funeral homes.)

We're not surprised at the results of this study for two reasons. First, we made it up. And second, we all know how tough librarians can be. These literary tyrants enforce more rules than the International Olympic Committee... No Talking, No Smoking, No Drinking, No Cell Phones, No Eating, No Pets, No Gum Chewing, No Unsanctioned Stapling, No Overdue Books, No Underdue Books,and on and on and on.

The Librarian Action Figure captures librarians' fierce yet friendly spirit. It's modeled after Nancy Pearl, a real-life librarian currently working in the Seattle area. The 5-inch posable figure is made of durable plastic, so she's rugged enough to leap tall book shelves and wrestle with Melvil Dewey (of Decimal System fame).

REALISTIC SHUSHING ACTION!

When you press the button on the Librarian's back, her arm moves toward her mouth in a "shushing action." No, she doesn't talk... but no self-respecting librarian has to. A cold stare and firm gesture can shut down even the boldest blabbermouth.

COMPLETE WITH BOOKS
AND OTHER STUFF!

As an extra bonus, each package includes a miniature stack of random literature. You also get a brief history of libraries and a realistic check-out card in a classic library sleeve.  Plus, you get two bookmarks and -- best of all -- a Nancy Pearl trading card! That, my friend, is a LOT of stuff.
