I got this off of Library Avengers while I was working the desk tonight, and K. and I had to take it. We were laughing out loud by the end of it, proving - before we even tallied our scores - that we are, indeed, geeky enough to be a librarian. Which is good, since we both are. I scored a 14. How 'bout you?
