Welcome to the new STAND-UP LIBRARIAN / MEREDITH MYERS DESIGNS!

"So a comedian/librarian sits down at a sewing machine and decides to sew something..."

I originally launched Meredith Myers Designs in 2004 after finding my grandmother's sewing machine collecting dust in the garage. It gave me something fun to do while I applied for jobs and tried to figure out what I wanted to do with my life. Since I'd always had an eye for fashion and fabric, it made sense that if I couldn't find what I wanted in stores, I might as well make it myself!

Then I decided to go be a librarian...and move to Los Angeles. So the poor sewing machine that I loved so much, went back to collecting dust in the garage. However, after five years in LA, I have found myself back in Florida sitting at that sewing machine again. I am still unemployed but at least now I know what I want to do with my life!

As the Stand-Up Librarian, my mission is to educate and entertain people about the importance of libraries. I believe all of us can be advocates for libraries whether we work in them or not. So in addition to my literary comedy performances, videos, and witty commentary on StandUpLibrarian.com, I am now promoting literacy in my DESIGNS!

I say the only thing cooler than reading a good book is WEARING IT, so please help me share with the world the importance and necessity of our libraries and books by carrying one of my literary designs! I am making cosmetic bags, wristlet purses, and the cutest fanny packs you will ever see! Seriously, I LIVE for these literary fanny packs because when I have my arms full of library books, I want the annoyance of a heavy purse on my shoulder!

All bags are made to order by me (when I am not on stage or at the library.) The fabrics are also chosen by me depending on season, availability, and whether I enjoyed the book (sorry, no Jersey Shore or Paris Hilton books will be included here.) All bags are fully lined in coordinating fabrics and contain strong zippers so you won't lose that library card. I offer various price ranges so whether you are a library student or a library director, you can still own a Stand-Up Librarian original!

I hope you will enjoy my "book" bags as much as I loved making them.

Support your libraries!
