What do you think of when you imagine what a librarian looks like?

With a shout-out to the website LibrarianWardrobe.com, whose members spearheaded a fashion walk-off at the last American Library Association Annual Conference, and in celebration of the 10th anniversary season of Project Runway, here is a small portion of the Los Angeles Public Library's most valuable resource -- our (chic) staff!

From L to R, Mary – Adult Librarian, Rachel – Children’s Librarian, Joanna – Children’s Librarian
