I’d like to take a shot at arranging an online librarian Secret Santa. It’s been a rough year for the national library community as a whole and I’d like to end the year with some holiday cheer.
So, here’s the skinny:
- Sign up between now and 11:59PM Saturday December 19th. (Form embedded below.)
- You will receive your gift target’s information on December 20th.
- Gifts should be received around December 25th.
- $10 gift limit (Go over at your own discretion.)
I’ve set up a Google Documents form to collect information from interested individuals. With the advent of internet shopping, the least amount of information you need to share is an email address. (As a good librarian, I will not share any information with anyone but your gift giver. Plus, I will need to contact you to let you know who you are giving to.)
(Apparently, WordPress doesn’t like iFrames. Here’s the link to the live form while I find a workaround. Sorry about that!)
Let’s make this a rousing end of the year success! Be sure to pass the word on this event! I will be making a Facebook event and tweeting on it as the days go by (I haven’t thought of a clever hashtag yet).
Happy Holidays, whatever that holiday might be!
Andy,
Thank you for putting this event together! I agree with you, it has been a rough year for all of us in Libraryland.
I hope that you get lots of participation. Can’t wait to find out who my Secret Santa will be
Take care and Happy, Joy, Joy, Holidays to you too!
Nina
What a great, offbeat idea! I’m in
But I’m not sure how to send a present with just an email address.
Thanks Andy.
You can send presents via email addresses through certain vendors. I send music to my friends all the time using iTunes. I’d have to check it out, but I think Amazon and some of the other book retailers (like B&N and Borders) have online certificates you can send.
We’ll figure this out!

You might want to check out Elfster. It matches people, keeps everything secret and you can ask questions anonymously to find out what people like.
I looked into those services. They all require logins and other information. I wasn’t impressed, really.
Great idea! Thanks for setting this up.
You are welcome!
What a brilliant idea. Thanks kindly for setting this up.
I am, of course, the dork who got so excited about signing up, I forgot to give you my e-mail address. You can glean it from this comment.
