“There’s a book I think the library should buy because I think a lot of people would like it.”
“Okay, what’s the title?”
“It’s called ‘Things of Interest to Doug, and Only to Doug.’”
“Okay, Doug, I’ll pass it along.”
“It may be a small publisher.”
“We’re on it, Doug.”
Becoming the technology librarian means having to host a Zoom meeting to RECORD the Director and Assistant Director reading the names of prize winners (no one actually joining the meeting). And they won’t listen to why that’s the most complicated approach and no one will watch it
Patron called about overdues on her account: she never took those books out in fact she's never taken any books out in fact she's never seen a book in fact she doesn't know where the library is in fact we're not even having this conversation in fact I never became a librarian
Apply to work at our library! We look for dynamic, creative, imaginative, independent-minded credentialed professionals who want to work in an environment where we tell you exactly what to do and exactly how to do it.
We are replacing the furniture that holds our public computers, and currently only have 3 computers in use during the process. Patrons have resorted to all but breathing down each other’s necks while they wait . . . #librarianlife
Patron:“When did you take down the town map hanging up front??” (never was one)
Me: *Gives him fold out map to keep*
Patron:“So when are you going to put it back up?”
Me:“I just gave you one you can keep”
Patron:“I’m not carrying this around with me!”

Was locking up the bathrooms at the library the other night and heard the water running. No one was there, just the faucet on and the drain plugged in. A minute later and we would have had an unpleasant situation on our hands. #justwhy#librarianlife#librarylife
My feed has turned into an #EragonRemake fest today🐉 Let’s call for an ACCURATE @Disney adaptation! Also, what are everyone’s dream casts??? I’d love to hear 😄
Hey, everyone! If you really want to take this tweetstorm over the top, ask your friends to join in. Just one friend will make a difference! #EragonRemake Let's GOOOO!

The Inheritance Cycle by @paolini has been so important to me for almost 14 years. A little scared to request this of @Disney, but will tweet this in the name of seeing an ACCURATE #EragonRemake that is true to the story and characters. In case it wasn’t clear - ACCURATE🙏🏼
Patron told me that there was no reason for us to be open because we didn’t yet offer seating in the library so he could read the newspaper. Cause, you know, there is apparently no other reason to come into the library . . .

Regular problem patron called and demanded I read her a recipe she was ready to start making. Told her I could not coach her through it as I had to also help other patrons (offered to print/email recipe but she refused) so she yelled, swore, and called me “evil.”
