The library is the last free place in town, and the person running it is underpaid, under-defended, and getting yelled at about a picture book. Every design here is about them. "Librarians Deserve a Raise." "Do not Jail a Librarian." "Ask a Librarian not a Chatbot." "Librarians Keep Your Secrets." "Thank a Librarian This Week."
For the public librarian, the school librarian, the children's librarian who runs storytime, the archivist, the library assistant, the bookmobile driver, and the library board member who voted the right way. Good for National Library Week in April, Banned Books Week in October, a retirement, or a Tuesday.
These are the librarian-first designs. The book bans themselves have their own page, banned books shirts, and the data-center and anti-AI library designs live with the library shirts.
Every shirt is printed to order in the USA on a heavyweight garment-dyed tee, unisex with a relaxed cut, true to size, S to 4XL. Quiet enough for the reference desk, loud enough for the board meeting.
Buying for the whole staff? Group orders of existing designs go on one custom listing; see group and bulk orders. Also see gifts for a teacher.
Questions people ask
What do you get a librarian who already has every book?
A shirt that defends them. "Librarians Deserve a Raise" and "Pay the Librarians" are the ones that get gifted by patrons; "Librarians Keep Your Secrets" is the one librarians buy for each other.
Are these for school librarians too?
Yes. "Every School Needs a Librarian," "Keep the Librarian on Staff," and "Story Time is not a Crime" were written for school and children's librarians specifically.
Can I order for the whole library staff?
Yes. Group orders of existing designs go on one custom listing so the order ships together; see group and bulk orders.
