Dad to daughter who is wandering off as he is trying to get them to leave the library: "So, shall I just come for you tomorrow then?"
Person no older than mid-30s: "Where are your compact discs?"
Patron: "I am looking for a book, appropriate for a nine-year-old, that tells the story of the musical Cats. Does such a book exist?"
I heard we had a teen in our library last week who knew how to use microfiche
ReplyDeleteWow! A possible future archivist or historian?
Delete...and current nerd
DeleteIndeed.
Deletethe Cats question just makes me want to go find one, but I assume there isn't one?
ReplyDeleteAnother commenter said she/he found some on WorldCat! Huh.
DeleteI couldn't resist checking OCLC....there are some, though would your library have them?
ReplyDeleteNice! I only looked at things we had in our own library at the moment because it was 'urgent' (they were going to see the musical the next day), so the best I was able to do was to direct him to Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats (the T.S. Eliot poetry collection on which the musical is based.
