Librarians have a tough job. Just knowing the Dewey Decimal system is tough enough, but knowing where to find the items that no one wants to talk about makes it even more difficult.
This library posted a reminder that the librarians are there to help, not to judge. Posting it makes it easier for patrons to find what they are looking for, without embarrassment. What a great idea, Librarians!
The above linked article tells of some odd requests that patrons ask of librarians. Some of them are completely off the way, and some are just a little quirky. Most are entertaining, at least.
Some of my favorites are listed below.
The above link goes to a quiz to find out which fictional librarian you are like.
I got Mrs. Phelps from Matilda. I don’t know what other librarians are available on this list, but I am curious about what others get.
I love how the group of librarians in the above linked article entertain themselves. I have followed the author’s blog for a while now, and I find her very entertaining. I am not a librarian myself, but I am aware that they are a funny bunch. Judging by the stuff I see in the library, anyone working in the library needs to have a sense of humor. They make my day, a lot!
In the above linked article, librarians tell about their favorite mixed up titles. I know my own daughter used “To Kill a Mockingjay” at one point. Some of the others are funny, too.
