Happy Saint Lawrence Day.

Happy Saint Lawrence Day. (You probably don’t need to be told but he’s one of the patron saints of librarians – the others being Saint Jerome and Saint Catherine of Alexandria.)
The Vatican Library has his head in a box. I guess that makes it easier to shelve and put a spine label on it than the unabridged edition.
For those of you who had trouble keeping up with demand for the Da Vinci Code in your library, blame St. Lawrence. He’s the one who lost the Holy Grail.
If you want to know more:
Humourous take on St. Larry here at Librarian Idol.
More here and here and here.
Happy Saint Lawrence Day.
