There is a daily comic strip on the Internet called "Unshelved" that is
written by librarians, for librarians. It highlights some of the
amusing/ironic/etc things that happen in libraries, and in some cases,
the librarians in the strip say things to patrons that real librarians
have always wanted to say to patrons, but don't because they want to
keep their jobs. (I suspect that ideas for some of the strips come from
frustrated librarians who send them to the creators of the strip).

Recently, there was a strip that dealt with librarians and genealogists.
I was hoping that it was going to be the beginning of a weeklong series,
but there was only the one. We on the APG list can enjoy this, because
we know that we would never behave in such a way in a library!
