Itโs time to give it up for librarians across the country.
While they arenโt exactly known for being wildly humorous with their shushing and their late fee reminders, these 35 photos prove that they know how to get a laugh.
All in the name of a good book, of course.
1. I see what you did there
Itโs ok, we wouldnโt have gotten around to reading them anyway.

4. Pop culture pick-me-ups
We assume the Wookies wonโt get in trouble for making too much noise. It was their idea, after all!

5. Recognizing a good photo op when they see it
This school librarian swears this photo was not staged but instead the result of a student losing her pet turtle (apparently, of the mutant ninja variety) at school.

Itโs always good to check out your hair before you check out your book.

At least you know the libary is never going to turn you away.

8. When librarians get disturbing
We can probably blame Groucho Marx for this one.

9. Raising awareness through kindness
Thatโs certainly one way to get people to take better care of their things. No one wants to fill out a police report at the library.

14. Theyโve got the power
To show you where to recharge. Hey, didnโt this place used to be for reading books?

15. What do they have against evil dogs?
But evil penguins are ok?

16. Clever about more than one medium
They can even make movie jokes!

17. Just wait โtil you set off the alarm by accident
Can you imagine how embarassed youโll be when you canโt find it to return it in time?

18. They really care about your property
Or maybe they just donโt like babysitting it for you.

19. Panda alert
This librarian wears her panda hat to work, so patrons are greeted with this image upon entering the library.

20. What did Max ever do to deserve this?
Maybe heโs a bookstore cat who prefers the library crowd.

21. You better pay those fines
Sending the grim reaper after overdue books seems a little extreme.

22. Be like Batman
Weโre just glad Batman reads.

23. Apparently, librarians love Batman jokes
And, really, who doesnโt?

Weโre loving these fiesty library mugshots.

26. Winter warmers
Well, books can warm your heart, if not your hands.

27. Safe zone
Youโre always safe from velociraptor attacks at the library. Good to know!

28. Keepers of knowledge
Librarians donโt get to choose their books, so weโre betting thereโs some creative stuff in the non-fiction section as well.

29. Fair warning
But what will the squirrels eat if not Keithโs lunch?

30. Sir Mix-A-Lot would be proud
Itโs the song that keeps on giving.

Weโd definitely get shushed for laughing too loud at this.

32. Dr. Who?
Just like a Tardis, books are bigger on the inside.

Imgur
33. Now we know how librarians get their superpowers
Or at least their IT guys.

34. Another one for the Dr. Who fans
Stay out of the shadows, just in case. Luckily, the library has good lighting.

35. Sticking it to the video watchers
At least books still work if you scratch them.
