Poll IV: Pole Position

With an overwhelming majority, The Flash has won this weeks poll with over 50% of the votes.  Right on ya, Internetz.

This weeks poll:  What would you rather spend money on:  Paper books, ebooks, computers, programing or a staff bar tab?

Also, check out our continuing poll that asks the hard question "Does your library use eBooks?"  Remember to answer honestly, because I have the technology to track you down and have you shot.

(My fellows are telling me that no, no I do not.  Next time, Gadget Interwebs.  Next time!)

Poll III: The Reckoning

This weeks poll ended with a thunderous success, while also putting forward the Banned Library Mascot Animal!  Hit the jump for the results.

Here were the results:

The Mighty Puffin came in with 0% of the votes.  Aw, poor puffin.

He's gonna cry, you guys :(

Tied at 11%, the Griffon and the Tiger!

We shall never see this epic battle.

At 33%, the Possum almost took the lead.

Believe it or not, it was so close I was sketching out designs.

In a come behind victory, I give you our winner, the one that puts the "ook" in "book," the Cleveland Cataloger, Jack "The Cutter #" Jackalope!

Oh... Oh, damn...  Don't worry folks, he'll look better on the logo.

This weeks post is now up:  Who Would Win In A Race?

Poll Closed, I Live!

This post sponsored by my sinuses.

I have climbed out of my antihistamine-induced stupor to give you the results of this week's poll: "What's your favorite way to relieve tension at the library?"

The results are as follows:

52% of those polled said they would speak to a coworker.  Lame, folks.  I mean, really?  

26% of those polled said they would drink heavily.  I will see you people in New Orleans in June.

With 10% each of those polled, shelving a few books and reading a book tied.  This only proves that few librarians really are helped by books.

This weeks poll?  I figure that we need a mascot here at the Banned Library.  Ideas, they are a flying, but I need some help narrowing them down so the poll will be "What should the Banned Library animal be?"  I threw out a couple of suggestions that I like, but if you have another suggestion throw it down in the comments.

Bonus Poll:  Does your library use eBooks?  Poll will last until the end of the month.

Poll Results Are In, Next Poll is Live!

Last weeks first annual weekly poll was "What's the best thing about being a librarian?"

Well, the results were mixed.  Of those surveyed, 0% said "The money" was why they chose the profession.  Next to last was "The women" with 21% of the vote, which I think is a shame as there are some truly lovely ladies in our profession.  In second place was "The power" with 35% of the vote, proving even the sweethearts out there want to rule the world.  Finally, our winner with 44% of the vote was "Saying hello to your little friends," proving that librarians love custodians and carnie folk just as much as they love children.
