True accounts from libraryland. The library isn't as boring as you'd think.

Posts from 6/30/10 to 7/15/10

6/30/10:  You're wearing a Team Jacob shirt? Really? Hate to spoil your fun, but you know Bella ends up fucking Edward, right? I don't know why these girls are so faithful to a losing cause. Probably learned from poor examples at home. Their dads must be Cubs fans.

7/1/10:  Yup, we have purple duct tape holding down our plastic chair mats.

7/6/10:  "Your Wi-Fi is down? And you don't know when it's going to be working? Are you doing anything to fix it?!?!" No, we've pretty much given up on it. We think this Internet fad is almost over anyway, and we're tired of dealing with it.


7/6/10:  I think this would be a fun new rule: Allowing people to sleep in the library. But they no longer get to find a quiet corner and a comfy chair to doze off in. Instead, they are to sit on a wooden stool right next to the teens' computers.

7/9/10:  When someone checks out a Playaway (a pre-loaded digital audio player, you can Google it), we give them a pair of headphones and a battery. I've been here for 2 years and I still don't understand this practice. We don't give people bifocals and lightbulbs when they check out books.

7/10/10:  Donation of the day: Finally, a book that J can appreciate.


7/10/10:  "Hi, am I at the right place? My father asked me to pick up a book for him." Nope, no books here. We only sell racoon hats and eyepatches. The Jiffy Lube has all the books.

7/12/10:  Awesome donation of the day: Cassette tapes from a person who had diverse musical interests.

7/14/10:  Abandoned pitcher of OJ. Or Sunny D. Might be Tampico. I'm not thirsty enough to find out.


7/15/10:  Book I won't be ordering: Algebra is already intimidating, why have a picture of a ferocious-looking mountain lion on the cover?
