When dressing for a library job interview, male candidates should wear one, and no more than one, of the following items to increase their chances of landing the position:
a book- or literature-themed necktie
a cell phone on your belt
a kilt
a porn mustache
your LARP costume
Choose wisely, and good luck!

I vote for the classic Hawaiian/bowling shirt with a book design.
9:49 PM
I have a weakness for a man in a kilt.
9:53 PM
A turtleneck. Or, at least, a slightly groomed full beard. Zany socks that peek out from under a crossed pant leg-- book or animal themed, if possible
10:02 PM
Mmm, a kilt. Definitely.
10:09 PM
Fedora
10:39 PM
The porn moustache! (I should point that I have one myself.)
11:13 PM
Surely some corduroy and tweeds. Preferably somewhat crumpled, and definitely out of style by ten years.
4:35 AM
A rubber thimble or a jaunty pencil behind one ear. (But only one.)
5:30 AM
Crumpled linen jacket and trousers / sandals with woolly socks / an enigmatic smile
5:56 AM
A Hawaiian shirt, tweed jacket, kilt, and knee high brown leather boots. Also, a welding cap.
7:08 AM
Or, for the academic librarian candidate, a tweed jacket with leather elbow patches.
7:09 AM
broken glasses
8:26 AM
Loincloth
9:03 AM
An MLS. How many males have those?
9:18 AM
Sweater vest.
9:34 AM
Fanny pack.
11:29 AM
A bow tie and a shirt patterned with disembodied Snoopy heads.
11:29 AM
Whatever you wear, gentlemen, just be sure it is wrinkled.

We interviewed a guy in a kilt with a book themed necktie & porn moustache.
He didn't get the job.
1:54 PM
Maybe sock garters. And I think one of those bluetooth headsets always adds that certain je ne sais quois.
3:56 PM
It doesn't matter what the man wears, of course!
But show a little skin and give the old gal's a thrill...
4:27 PM
Vintage cardigan or homemade sweater vest. But it has to be homemade....
6:19 PM
I just wanted to mention that my co-worker was wearing these today:

And no, I don't work on the beach, I work at an inland university.
9:11 PM
I find the egnimatic smile works every time
8:20 PM
My vote is for a current holiday or season-themed cardigan.
11:07 AM
I went into mine wearing jeans and a black t-shirt. I probably should have worn dress pants and a dress shirt.
