20 times librarians revealed their funny side

When you think of librarians, there are numerous librarian stereotypes to choose from, with the most recognisable being the middle-aged, bun-wearing, comfortably shod, shushing librarian. Others may include the sexy librarian, the superhero librarian, and the hipster or tattooed librarian. However, what is rarely revealed to the reading public is their funny side. Here are 20 examples of librarian humour spotted in libraries, collated and shared on Facebook by Quick Turtle, the fun online magazine.
