  I was getting ice cream the other day at a relatively new shop, urlLink Denise's . No sooner had I selected my ice cream flavor (Tiramisu) from the urlLink vast array of possibilities , than I spy a tattoo on the girl behind the counter. Double Take Now, normally a tattoo on the arm doesn't excite me. But I'm there with a colleague from OCLC, Gregor, and we both realize simultaneously that the tattoo is for the urlLink Columbus Metropolitan Library !
And that this young, hip, ice-cream-scooping girl, all of 22, is sporting it in its full glory! Curiosity Took Over Of course we had to ask. "Wow, how'd you get that tattoo? " I ask. Gregor, always the bold one, cuts to the chase. "Is it real ? " It turns out it was temporary, but she seemed surprised at all our effervescence. "Yeah, I got it from a friend who works there. It's cool. [shrug] I like it. " Moral of the story Now, whenever someone scoffs at you, to say libraries aren't cool with the hip young crowd, tell them about the ice cream tattoo. Kids are branding themselves with your library logos! If I only had a photo of this event...I would show you.
