A liberry patron went to a local bookstore to get a copy of Going Rogue by Sarah Palin, an autographed copy. The bookstore didn't have any, but they suggested that he look on the web to locate a copy. Who knew that the bookstore wasn't allowed to look that up for him? That's what the patron told me. So we, me and the patron, found copies of signed copies of Going Rogue that would cost from $100 to $500 per copy!! *faint* He had no idea her signed book would cost that much, and neither did I. I got him the mailing address for Sarah, he's going to write her and ask her for a copy. He was happy with that and he said "You do good work, inspite of what your mother told you." Now why'd he have to bring my mother into this conversation?
Later on in the day, a man wanted a listing of used bookstores in two neighboring communities. So I printed the list of bookstores, came out to 4 pages, which I didn't even charge him for. OMG when I went downstairs to the checkout desk, my colleague said that the man was "ecstatic", "overjoyed", "just beside himself", and "downright giddy" over getting those print outs. Who would have thunk a liberrian could make people so happy?
