LISNews: Librarian News

You know the name of the game..."I Survived A Japanese Game Show". But regrettably, Y.A. librarian Dan Barbour did not.

From Wicked Local: After spending the past seven weeks appearing on televisions across the nation, Dan Barbour was eliminated from ABC’s “I Survived a Japanese Game Show” during Wednesday night’s episode.

A Young Adult Librarian at the Shrewsbury Public Library since 2007 who has also served as an Electronic Resources Librarian, Barbour said since being on the nationally televised show, people have asked him to sign autographs and talk about his experience on the show.

“My life has changed a little bit,” said Barbour, 25. “People recognize me all the time, which is weird. I went into Price Chopper in Shrewsbury the other day and was stopped five times by different groups of people just wanted to talk about the experience.”
