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

Storytime is sacred. The reading circle is holy ground, and the children's librarian in the tee has run the Tuesday morning circle for nineteen years through three challenge campaigns, one budget cut and a pandemic, and has never once canceled. Standing with the librarians and teachers who keep the voices reading aloud is the shirt. This tee stands there, on the rug.

Wear it to storytime, the library board meeting, the banned books week display, the early literacy conference, and the family dinner where a relative says kids have tablets now. It is a warm gift for a children's librarian, a preschool teacher, a parent on the rug, and the friend who never missed a Tuesday.

The tee is a Comfort Colors 1717, garment-dyed in 6.1 oz ring-spun cotton, soft and evenly colored, with a heavier hand than a novelty tee and three words that read across a Tuesday reading circle. Direct-to-garment. It bonds with the cotton.

Unisex, relaxed, true to size. S through 4XL. Colors: Black, White, Bay, Blossom. Also Chambray, Graphite, Ivory, Banana. It is the nineteen-Tuesdays-a-year entry 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.

Which color do librarians pick? Blossom and Bay. Banana for the rug.

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.
