Unisex with a relaxed cut, true to size, S to 4XL. Garment-dyed heavyweight tee.

Fired for shelving a book. The librarian did the job, which was to shelve the book, and lost the job for it, and the town that found out filled the next board meeting past the fire code. This shirt is for the librarian who was fired for shelving a book, and for the town that noticed.

Wear it to the library board meeting, the rally on the library steps, the Banned Books Week event, and the fundraiser for the librarian's legal fees. It is a strong gift for a librarian, a fired librarian, a Friends of the Library member, and the patron who started the petition.

Printed on a Comfort Colors 1717 in garment-dyed 6.1 oz ring-spun cotton, soft, evenly colored, and heavy enough to outlast the board that did the firing. Direct-to-garment. Ink in the cotton, not on top.

Relaxed, unisex, true to size. S to 4XL. Colors: Black, White, Bay, Blossom. Plus Chambray, Graphite, Ivory, Banana. Also as a hoodie and a sweatshirt. It stands with the librarian designs on our book bans and libraries page.

Designed and printed to order in the USA. Machine wash cold, inside out, with like colors. Tumble dry low. Do not bleach or iron the design.

Printing and care

Printed to order in the USA, direct to garment: water-based ink goes into the fabric rather than sitting on top, so the print stays soft and does not crack or peel.

Machine wash cold, inside out. Tumble dry low or hang dry. Do not iron the print. More on the fabric and care page.
