Third in a series Liblaf continues the tradition of itspredecessors with over 100 pages of cartoons on a range of librarythemes.

The compiler, Alan Bundy, has notattempted the difficult task of acknowledging the source for eachcartoon, but does encourage authors or publishers to make contact ifthey feel their interests have been affected by such inclusion. You will find cartoons to introduce humour into that new stafftraining package, and students can use cartoons to spice up theirlibrary assignments, while we could all use a few cartoons to calm usdown after a stressful client encounter. I spotted one hitch --duplicated cartoons on pages 84 and 96. Popular cartoonists are well represented by such luminaries as GaryLarson This article refers to the cartoonist. For the rugby league player, please see Gary Larson (rugby league).Gary Larson (b. August 14 1950) is the creator of The Far Side and Bill Watterson, creator of Calvin, the six-year-old menaceand random caller of library helpdesks. Also well represented is thatsmall breed of librarians who are also cartoonists -- Lee, for example,who drew for Wilson Library Journal until that publication'sdemise, and has also published collections of his works. Bundy is already encouraging entries for Liblaf four, so clearlythere are more in store. While I feel the present format works quitewell, I wish for an index in the next compilation -- although coming upwith helpful subject headings could be a challenge for some of the morewacky items. But finding a particular cartoon can be tedious,particularly now that there are three volumes to scan. Failing that,cartoons could be themed so that all those on reference encounters orusers with overdue items are all in the same area. For the lighter side of library life, Liblaf three hits the spot.
