Top Tens of 2012: Internet, Memes, and More

In 2012, a few librarian-related memes came out. It makes sense, really. The Internet is the home of cat memes and librarians gravitate toward cats at parties, so it was only a matter of time before the two morphed into one. Scroll to the bottom of the page to gaze at the popular Ryan Gosling + libraries meme.

But first, on a less sexy but still terrible fascinating note, here's what Google Analytics has told us about our online users and their habits for 2012. Oh, and we've had 32,308 unique users visit our site so far this year (stats from January 1st to December 10th). We feel almost as pretty and popular as Ryan Gosling. Almost.
