Try The Library-rachel Instead
(I’m manning the reference desk when a young patron, perhaps four years old, comes up to me.)
Kid: “Is your name Anne?”
Me: “No, it’s [My Name]. Why do you ask?”
Kid: “‘Cause mum said to ask the library-Anne.”
(I melted. Footnote: This originally played out in Swedish and with a different name/word (bibliotekarien -> bibliote-Karin), but I made it work in English.)
