A publik liberrian gets asked tons of questions each day. This blog is my recording of interesting, funny, inane, educational and provocative questions I get during my day.

Are you kiddin' me?
The grocery store across the street from our liberry was robbed by gunpoint today!! OMG!! Cops from two counties everywhere! And to top it off, there's a little man running around yelling at people. He's not in any law enforcement uniform, he yelled inside our door "LOCK DOWN THE LIBERRY! THERE WAS AN ARMED ROBBERY ACROSS THE STREET! YOU NEED TO LOCK THE DOORS! DON'T LET ANYBODY IN! DON'T LET ANYBODY OUT! THIS IS A LOCKDOWN! I AM NOT A POLICE OFFICER BUT I HAVE WORKED SECURITY! THIS IS A LOCKDOWN!!" Later we heard he was arrested for Incitement. Needless to say, we DID NOT lock the liberry doors.

Por amor al arte, parte 1.....
We have a liberry patron who feels entitled to do whatever he wants to do just because he donated more than $5K to our liberry. He is an artist, he makes paintings and sculptures. How does the saying go? Art is in the eye of the beholder? No, that's not it. But you get my drift. Some folks like his stuff and some don't. I am one of those who don't. Anyway, our liberry manager gave him permission to have a mini art show to display his sculptures here, thankfully just for one week. But here's the kicker...if you work in a publik liberry, you'll know exactly what I'm talking about....it's summer people!!! School is out, it's summer reading time, too busy here to monopolize our meeting room with so-called art! People!! We got magic shows, jugglers, craft classes to have!! We need our own liberry space for what we gotta do! The liberry is not your own personal art gallery!! geez louise!

WTH?? You're cracking me up!
The following statement was found on a bright orange post-it note, stuck on the cover of a book called Breathing: "Did you know if you put chocolate in a place with a stronge odor that it will make the chocolate taste werd. So the point of this is dont sell chocolate to skunks the will demand a refund for bad tasting chocolate." It is verbatim, I did not change any mispellings or punctuations.
