Gadzooks! What’s up…? No tie for my #LibrarianFashion today? How odd… (Too rushed this morning.)

Selfie:
Orange, brown and navy but not shirt with an orange striped brown background cardigan… But, no tie. Gadzooks!

Thanks to @sartoriallibrary.bsky.social not only for their podcast celebrations of picture books and librarian fashion, but for the #LibrarianFashion tag. Browsing the latter is a wonderful way to discover some bibliophile #Uplift! 📚

When I found out about @sartoriallibrary.bsky.social's #LibraryFashion tag, of course the first person I thought of was Sylvie Facon, who turns books into dresses: steampunktendencies.com/sylvie-falco...

Symbiosis, friends. Uplift the authors and uplift the illustrators. Equally. It takes both to make picture book magic. In our podcast discussions we wax poetic about the writer’s text, the illustrator’s artwork and the beautiful interplay between the two mutually enhancing elements. Listen in.

In each episode, we take a deep dive into two stellar picture books. Learn how they would make great story time read aloud, why they’d be good addition to your library, or how you might use them in a classroom, or why it would be a great lap time book with a child. Give us a listen ⬇️

The Sartorial Librarians Podcast @sartoriallibrary.bsky.social · 12/02/2025

In each episode we discuss Library Looks, Library Books, and Library Tangents. Ep 11 Library Looks: Paul salutes his MLIS alma mater with UT-Austin Longhorn Orange. Chris's tie reminds us that if you work with squirrels you have to dress for squirrels. Listen in ⬇️

We like to think that some of the best bits are in the digressions, the musings… Library Tangents: Chris gets tangled in the horns of sports (lack of) knowledge; the creative importance of building toys; wandering and noticing architecture; how we connect color and emotion …and more in Ep 11⬇️

Two more intriguing and amazing books discussed and a rollicking discussion about many tangentially related things along the way. Give us a listen!

From our episode description:

Library Tangents:
Toque: a study in Canadian vs American English; treats only available on one side of the border; there’s a weird T-shirt over here; librarian dress codes; eccentric great-uncle vibes; owning our bloopers; putting a call out into the void; we’re so meta; is Corner a pandemic book? Alienation allegory; creating a special space; creativity as a way out of boredom vs boredom as a necessity for creativity; “stories without words” means building the story in your brain; PSA not to skip the front matter; illustrators finding their inner children; musicality rhythms and rhyme; all the creative things jammed together.

Want to SHARE some shoes that get you through the librarianing shift, whether with accentuated funk or function…? Kicking off the new year by highlighting some cool kicks from the last episode of 2024… #LibrarianFashion, Shoes Edition 🧵

Converse high tops with black canvas uppers that are splatter painted in purple (that aligns with my tie), blue, and off-white paint.
Bonus: Socks that are partly visible have multi-hued stripes, some thick, some thin, some that have blue tones and purple tones close enough to the shoe splatter painted splotches—nice!
