I just got out of jail...

...is something patrons say to me a lot, as in:


"Not to get all personal, but I just got out of jail and they had the test waiting for me. But I failed the first time, so now I'm studying to take it again in September. So that's why I need the basic math books."

  1. If you work in a law library that is open to the public, you get used to this kind of thing, and "I need to expunge my criminal record" is pretty common. It can be fun to try to guess the crime/misdemeanor. Signed, You Know Who This Is.

    2. well I adhere pretty strictly to the "don't ask" principle, so I don't have great stories, sadly.
