January 20th 2017 marks Penguin Awareness Day, a day dedicated to celebrating and protecting our favorite black and white flightless university librarians.

Fun Facts:
Penguins can drink salt water. They have specialized nasal glands that filter excess salt from their bloodstream, preventing hypertension

There are only an estimated 6,000 to 15,000 Galapagos penguins remaining, making them the world’s rarest penguin species.

BUT there are over 140,000 librarians in the United States and only one is a Penguin Librarian.

Can you dig up more penguin/librarian facts?

Happy Penguin Awareness Day Everybody.

Especially you, Jan.
