I am the wages of the MSU Special Collections room.

Today, I was looking at the holdings in Michigan State University Library Special Collections, because that's the kind of gal I am. And I noticed something.

The subject areas of the Special Collections include:

* Gay, Lesbian Bi-sexual & Transgender
* Comic Art
* The Russel B. Nye Popular Culture Collection (special emphasis on "Science Fiction, Juvenile Literature, Mysteries, Popular Information, Romances, Textbooks, Westerns, Sunday School books and Performing Arts"...and zines; emphasis mine)
* Radicalism
* Cookery & Food

and, just to top off this sundae,

* Changing Men

I swear, I didn't spend that many hours in the basement! Mostly I was reading comic books! Really! Swear on my mother's faculty library card!

I think that Special Collection is what finally convinced me that libraries were cool beyond any rational measure.
