I have listened to a great many conversations between patrons and librarians. I sometimes wonder how in the world you put up with us. Your librarian stories and experiences were very interesting.

I can definitely relate to these incidents and the analog and very early computerized library worlds you describe. Hilarious but true the types of situations one encounters as a librarian. Best wishes for a long and happy retirement. One of these years I'll join the retired ranks too and, inspired by your reminiscences here, might produce a similar (non-government) document at that point too.Tim Dodgenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3119105822589181967.post-24302564410984507902018-09-05T13:38:36.835-04:002018-09-05T13:38:36.835-04:00Congrats on the retirement, and thanks for the sto...Congrats on the retirement, and thanks for the stories!
