Unisex fit, true to size, S to 5XL (Sand to 3XL). Heavyweight fleece crewneck.

The librarian was right. Somewhere there is a librarian who put the right book in your hands when you were eleven and never found out what it did for you. This sweatshirt is the belated thank you, with a raven and a stack of old books under a headline that finally concedes the point.

People shopping for a librarian gift often want something the librarian will actually wear on a slow Saturday shift. It fits the reference desk, the staff holiday party, and the retirement send-off for the librarian everyone in town remembers.

For reading-room chill, this crewneck is Gildan Heavy Blend: 8 oz, 50/50 cotton and polyester, a seamless body, and ribbing at the collar, cuffs and hem. Printing is direct to garment, so the raven sits in the fabric rather than on it.

It fits unisex, relaxed and true to size from S to 5XL, Sand through 3XL, and sizing up two gives extra room. It comes in Sand, Sport Grey and White. Also as a tee and a hoodie. For more on why librarians are under pressure right now, visit 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.

Common questions

Is this a good retirement gift for a librarian? Yes. It is a warm way to thank someone who spent a career matching readers with books.

Does the sweatshirt run large? It runs true to size with a relaxed cut; size up two only if you want it oversized.

Will the print hold up at the reference desk every week? Yes. Printed into the fabric and washed cold, it stays soft and clear.

Can a library order a set for its staff? Yes. A branch can outfit the whole staff at once, each person in the size and color they like.
