Here's my library story for the day.
The phone rings. I answer it, "Richmond Library."
Person: Is this the library?
Me: Yes.
Person: Are you open today? Or are you just picking up the phone?
Yeah, I always hang around closed libraries just to answer the phone. (I thought it but I didn't say it.)
==============================================================
Lady comes in line to check out some books.
Lady: Is this the latest Danielle Steele book or has she written another one recently?
Me: I'm really not sure. I've been out for a couple of months and she writes books so quickly I don't know what the latest one is. The librarian can probably help you.
Lady: Why were you out? Were you sick?
Me: Yes.
Lady: What were you sick with?
Me: I had surgery.
Lady: Exactly what kind of surgery?
Me: I really don't want to answer that. Here are your books.
Lady: Oh. It must have been female problems then. Anything else you would be talking about.
Oh brother! I love the library. I love the library. And I love my job.
Don't you just love the public.
