Librarians become Pin-Ups to Fundraise for LIBs – IOWA

search-engines-web.com spotted a desmoinesregister.com Piece on some daring librarians in Iowa. Twelve librarians in Dallas County and 12 months in a year – after Paula James saw the movie “Calendar Girls,” it seemed like the perfect coincidence.

James, Adel’s library director, was looking for creative ways to raise money for the town’s $2.2 million facility, which is due to open in the fall.

She enlisted fellow members of the county’s library association each to pose – clothed and with books in hand – on a motorcycle, in a hot tub and in other uncharacteristic positions for a 2005 calendar.
