Partnering with the American Library Association, Daniel Handler, AKA Lemony Snicket, is launching the Lemony Snicket Prize for Noble Librarians Faced With Adversity. This $3,000 annual award will honor “a librarian who has faced adversity with integrity and dignity intact.”

LOL at the punchline:

“This seems like a better way to channel money to librarians than my previous strategy, which was incurring exorbitant late fees,” said Handler.
