[Sca-librarians] The SCA Librarian song

[Apollonia Voss]

Was I the only person who didn’t know that Northshield has a special song
for us?  Has anyone heard the SCA Librarian song outside of that Kingdom?

 

Kudrun Pilegrim has given me permission to post the lyrics.  I was honored
and tickled to have it sung for me while visiting last month.  I’ve got a
picture of folks singing to upload sometime soon.

 

 SCA Librarians rock!

 

Thanks Kudrun and Sorcha and extra special thanks to Anplica!  I met at
least six of us throughout the course of the week, unfortunately I do not
remember everyone’s name.  Anplicia even arranged it so I could attend an
event which in the area.  (You’re awesome, Anplicia.) I had a great time in
Minneapolis, Saint Paul and Rochester.  I hope to do something similar on a
future trip.  I definitely plan to revisit Northshield.
