Peeps at MY Library


Okay, I just couldn't resist having some photos taken of the Peep my friend Laura sent me earlier.

My yellow Peeplet checks out the library, and contemplates his Peepmanity



Peeplet and friend ask a reference question.




Thanks to Michael for the photography!

A tad more Peep madness:

Amy K. found the Passion of the Peeps.

Lord of the Peeps


Last Peeps of the day. I swear. Probably.

Lord of the Peeps! (takeoff on LOTR, not the Michael Flately dancey thing)

All Peeps, All The Time!


Okay, so today it's been Peeps, Peeps, Peeps on my blog. I needed something to cheer me up, so that's where my head has been. So what happens? My buddy Laura sends me a stuffed Peep! It arrived via FedEx while I'm sitting on the ref desk. Whee!!! It's yellow and soft and adorable. Photos when I can (stupid digital camera can't be downloaded at work!).

Whee! Peeps!

Peeps in the Library...on TV!


Perusing (as I do this time of year) the Peeps at the Library research from Millikin University, I notice that they've hit the big time! From their website:
CBS's Rita Braver came to Staley Library with a Chicago CBS film crew on March 2 to record an Easter feature for CBS News Sunday Morning - namely, to interview Susan Avery and Jen Masciadrelli about their creation of that famed Peeps page! This will be part of an Easter Sunday story about the Peeps, including a visit to the Peeps factory and a look into the varied uses that people make of this curious little sugar and marshmallow creature.
Yay, Peeps!

Tis the Season for...


PEEPS! You know, those little marshmallow chicky things. I find them foul to the taste, but it turns out you can have loads of fun with them. Some suggestions:

A Peeps topiary. (Thanks, Alison)

There's been a fair bit of research done on what makes Peeps, well, peep. Including the effects of smoking and alcohol on your average Peep.

They've had miraculous surgery performed on them.

They've even gone to the Library!
