In case I haven't said it before, the best thing about being a librarian is the variety!
9-9:30 Work on a grant application to translate info about our library into other languages
9:30-10:30 Weed unpopular books and audiobooks
10:30-10:45 Break: read The Most of P.G. Wodehouse and eat a donut.
10:45-11:45 Organize a set of 1960s realtor's index cards describing local homes
11:45-12:00 Review the album "Out of Time" by R.E.M. for the library's blog
12:00-1:00 Lunch/Wodehouse
1:00-5:00 On the reference desk: looking up what "rotating credit" is, emailing the library card application to an English-as-a-Second-Language teacher, helping unload the tax forms that just arrived, and listening to Security interrupt a drug deal in progress in the bathroom.
does "Out of Time" have the song "Calling Chowmania" on it? Signed, You know who this is...

Deletewow, the #1 misheard lyric! impressive.
Deletevariety all over the place there!
ReplyDeletedo you ever feel sorry for the unpopular books?
ReplyDeleteOh yes, often! The library where I work now is pretty ruthless because we don't have much space. I wish they'd be given more of a chance!
Deletedo you ban people who make drug deals? theoretically anyway?
ReplyDeleteYes, but, as you said, only theoretically.
