I've just got back from a 4 day library conference and it nearly killed me. Librarians on the razzle are a scary bunch, they manage to party till 4 or 5 in the morning and then turn up bright and bushy tailed for lectures at 9 the next morning. Well most of them did. And don't get me started (oh go on then) about librarians and discos. You've never seen so many usually sober and sedate ladies of the cardigan variety throwing shapes to Britney, and when Hey Ya! came on it was one of the the funniest things I've ever seen. One lady who admittedly wasn't a librarian, more of a publisher, was dirty dancing to some songs with a bemused man - and when she tried to get her leg round his neck mouths dropped all around the dancefloor. She will certainly be seen in a different light from now on.
Thankfully, this madness is only once a year, then we librarians go back to our normal day jobs and hide the crazy dancing, drinking and partying personas till next time round. You should all be very thankful indeed.
