Sunday in the library
It was amazing to see when JP, our beloved custodian, opened the doors to the library this Sunday that 40 people walked into the library. I guess the simile would be that patrons poured into the building like water pouring out of a broken damn. And where did these patrons go? Mostly to audio-visual and the computer lab. As a matter of fact, I had to assist TF at open as one of his lab machines froze up on him. He had a line that extended back to circulation. Audio-visual was a beehive of activity. Not only did staff have to check out videos, they had to assist a patron who spent two hours at the microfilm machine looking up sports stories from a 1990 Kansan.
As for reference, we spent most of the day looking up answers for homework questions. Guess what fellow Adult Service staffers----It's American Indian tribe homework time again! Also, I got plenty of use out of the CIA World Fact book and the World Book encyclopedia as a couple of students had questions about Argentina.
Yes, they came in all shapes and sizes this Sunday. I need a Corona. I deserve a Corona.
