In The Stacks

Libraries are are still a popular public institution. All people are welcome to enjoy free services - books, DVDs, CDs, internet access. Unfortunately, even the most intelligent and well meaning customer can become behaviorally challenged when they enter the front doors. I have worked in libraries for over a decade. This is a collection of my personal interactions with patrons which stood out among the rest. All posts are true. Names have been changed to protect the not-so-innocent.

This isn't a restaurant

I walked up to a guy eating in the library:

Me: "You should eat that out on the deck"

Him:"Why?"

Me: "Well there is no eating in the library"

Him: "Really? *looks all confused*

Me: "Yeah I guess you missed the 3 big signs that say "NO food in library"'

Him:"But you have tables."

Librarian thought bubble -"If I bring him a napkin, will he leave a tip?"
