Evelyn Carnahan O’Connell, National Library Week, On the Lighter Side, The Mummy

How can I bid adieu to National Library Week 2021 without a tip of the hat to one of my favorite fictional librarians, Evelyn Carnahan O’Connell?

Harold:
Madam Librarian
What can I do, my dear, to catch your ear
I love you madly, madly Madam Librarian…Marian
Heaven help us if the library caught on fire
And the Volunteer Hose Brigademen
Had to whisper the news to Marian…Madam Librarian!
What can I say, my dear, to make it clear
I need you badly, badly, Madam Librarian…Marian
If I stumbled and I busted my what-you-may-call-it
I could lie on your floor
‘Till my body had turned to carrion….Madam Librarian.
Now in the moonlight, a man could sing it
In the moonlight
And a fellow would know that his darling
Had heard ev’ry word of his song
With the moonlight helping along.
But when I try in here to tell you, dear
I love you madly, madly, Madam Librarian…Marian
It’s a long lost cause I can never win
For the civilized world accepts as unforgivable sin
Any talking out loud with any librarian
Such as Marian…..Madam Librarian.

360-Degree Virtual Tour of Harvard’s Harry Elkins Widener Memorial Library, National Library Week

Widener Memorial Library at Harvard University, Cambridge, Massachusetts

As we near the end of National Library Week, what better time to take an online 360-degree virtual tour of Harvard’s Harry Elkins Widener Memorial Library, which has been thoughtfully provided in order to promote remote access in this time of social distancing. Trust me. They’ve really outdone themselves with gorgeous high resolution views of the 105-year-old cultural landmark!
