Those sexy librarians who are tweeting their way through the American Library Association conference aren't content with burying their innermost secrets into the social networking ether. Now, some conference attendees are preserving their stereotype-busting contributions to the nerd-sexuality canon in the slightly more permanent form of online document-sharing. Can sexy secret powerpoint presentations be far behind?

If you'll recall, this year's ALA attendees began airing their "secrets"—nerd-crushes, wi-fi frustrations, and sexual exploits—on Twitter via @alasecrets. It wasn't long before the book-nerd confessional was shut down—-likely by one of their own. The Twitter account has since been reborn in the form of @ALASecrets2009, a den of impropriety even more sexually explicit than the first. Before the fall, however, the sex-starved librarians and stern conference brown-nosers Tweeted their secrets as one.

One ALA secrets completist has thwarted those who would silence the librarian secrets, preserving all the previous account's Tweets in an online document for all to peruse. It's titled "TRANSCRIPTS FROM @ALASECRETS 2009 BEFORE BEING SHUT DOWN BY A TIGHTASS KILLJOY," and it's probably much more interesting than whatever cataloguing powerpoint they're all pretending to appreciate right now. So let's check out the sexiest, sternest, and downright creepiest tweets to come out of the first half of the American Library Association conference!

THE SEXY:

5. "not discrete enuf. We had to go to Starbucks restroom for quickie. Missed start of next session :( ALA get it sorted."

4. "Using Web 2.0 tools to build community, even if it is a community of hung-over sex-crazed librarians, McCormick W-177"

3. "Last night kinda hazy. Very tired, not focused this morning. Kinda sore down *there*. Need more coffee. Poss. meds later."

2. "you don't like the way you're being presented then go set up an account for @sanctimoniousgetoveryourself"

1. "Who you calling 'middle aged'? I'm sixty-six."

THE STERN:

5. "Librarians need to learn how to silence cell phone ringers. And don't answer your calls during a session!"

4. "Are they still playing Neil Diamond on the shuttle?"

3. "conference hookups are never worth it. don't be stupid."

2. "other people's one-night stand stories are just as exciting as other people's drug stories, i.e., NOT VERY"

1. "This twitter account is disgusting. It's just a sewer of depravity. Is this the image librarians wish to proect to the world?"

—

THE CREEPY:

"Not only big but have never cum that hard b4. Bet there won't be a box for that on the #ala2009
evaluation form ;-) Thanx; u know who u r."

—

THE PROBABLY LYING:

"Hope she was on the pill last night. She was hot. I never got her name. I'll never drink again. Shitting myself with worry."

When the American Library Association's annual conference kicked off in Chicago last Thursday, some attendees wanted the world to know that librarian get-togethers aren't all about shushing and stacking: There's a lot of fucking, too.

The nearly week-long librarian meet-up, which began July 9, delivers "over 300 educational programs" to professional bibliophiles each year—including workshops like "Collection Development: Decision Making With Data" and "When Is Nice Too Nice? Strategies For Disengaging From the Talkative Patron." Some attendees, however, haven't been entirely satisfied with the ALA programming. So they launched a "secret" Twitter account for librarians to share more intriguing professional insights. A typical anonymous ALA tweet:

Some librarians are exhausted by the conference's material ("I have reached the point of the conference where I no longer give a damn about anything anyone is saying any more.") Others are inspired by a perceived lack of cultural acceptance for a librarian's sex life ("I am an adult. I am a librarian. I enjoy good sex. Including at this conference. What is the problem?"). Most of them, for whatever reason, are talking about fucking—that's the "sexy" part. Not everyone is happy about it. That's where "stern" comes in.

According to the librarian-blogger at not all bits, ALA's first anonymous Twitter free-for-all, @alasecrets, was accessible via a username and password circulated among conference-goers. Less than two days into the festivities, however, the account was shut down by a fellow librarian. Writes not all bits:

Well, it saddens me that a member of the library profession took exception to @alasecrets and shut it down by logging in and changing the password. They protected the updates thereafter so, supposedly, people couldn’t see them.

You’re going to have to pardon my language here but FUCK that. I despise censorship in any form and I especially loathe the idea that a librarian shut down that Twitter account. So I did something about it.

The sexy librarian gossip site has now been re-born in the form of @ALASecrets2009—and re-illustrated with an icon of a Naughty Librarian Halloween costume (pictured). Conference attendees can now only post to the new feed by e-mail, meaning that fun-hating librarians can't tinker with the account details to quiet the masses. For the less horny librarian, the #ala2009 hash tag still offers up plenty of non-sexual ALA chat fare.

The first go-around of librarian fucking Tweets has now been "protected" from the public. Below, the ten sexiest nerd tweets from the feed's second incarnation:
