The Desk Set is an informal group of librarians, archivists, Library Science students and other individuals who love books.

***Don't let the copy fool you. I have heard fom many reliable sources (I take a lot of cabs...what?!?) that this is the convention to beat. Librarians are rockstars who can read. There is no cover for the event, but if you bring a book or donate to the cause, we'll give you an icy cold Pabst, just to show that your goodwill doesn't go unnoticed. C'mon, you have to be curious! I know I am!
