Library apparel without the generic gift-shop feel

Stacks & Standards grew from my years working in libraries and archives and from wanting library apparel that actually felt like it was made by someone who understood the work. These designs celebrate the people behind the stacks: the librarians, educators, archivists, and library staff who preserve knowledge, build community, and help people find what they need every day. Made by a library person, for library people.
