Gabriel has a plan for future library functions that require teamwork, coordination, landmarks, organization, etc., and the plan involves a certain product from the library world's favorite supplier of library kitsch: Demco! You may view the object of Gabe's desire below.
Unfortunately, Gabe lives on a paltry graduate student budget, much like the rest of us. He would go ahead and purchase the Demco "Welcome Library Logo Banner" himself but $49.99 for the whole kit and caboodle is just too much for someone with a work-study allottment of $7.25 an hour. The banner is like a week's worth of part-time work in the archives! Damn!
[Gabe quoted the price as $70.00 but he was working from a catalog made out of paper; I am more likely to trust the internets which say that $49.99 will buy us both the banner AND a wooden dowel set.]
But if 10 to 15 graduate students worked for an hour and gave half their wages to Gabe's cause (which is really a cause that will better serve the group and work to further our goal of organization, coordination and, thus, worldwide domination), we could own the book-loving, hunch-backed stick figure without anyone's grocery budget being reduced to Ramen noodles and PBR. I hate MSG in the morning.
If you are inclined to support a budding archivist's dream, contact Gabe. You know where to find him (he won't be in the computer lab).
