Library Staff Are Very Amen-able
Customer: *handing me a book* “Is this the Koran?”
Me: “No sir, this appears to be a book about Ojibwe singers.”
Customer: “The lady said it would be on aisle 6B.”
Me: “It is, but the Koran’s call number is 297. This book is listed under 264.”
*blank stare*
Me: “Let me try to help you find it.”
(Walking to aisle 6B, I notice that the book he grabbed is the first book on the aisle, at eye level.)
Me: “Sir, did you just walk to aisle 6B and grab the first book you saw?”
Customer: “I couldn’t find it, so…yes.”
(He then find’s another book on the shelf.)
Customer: “Oh here it is! Would this be the best one?”
(The patron has picked up ‘The Complete Idiot’s Guide to the Koran’.)
