There were good moments today too, like one patron I've helped several times enthusiastically greeting me with "My favorite millennial! My buddy!" and finding a book in large print for a very sweet senior citizen. But it's always the negative interactions that stick with you...

Today I told a patron "I don't know" & he came back *2 hours later*, when I was alone at the desk, to YELL about how unprofessional that was, complete with leaning over the desk & shaking his finger in my face. Sorry I'm not omniscient! #LibrarianProblems

Better late than never! This book was returned to @theUL yesterday... some SIXTY years after being borrowed. Suffice to say we waived the fine. Must have been a great book - or a very slow reader? #books #LibraryLife #AmReading #AmReadingSlowly

Funny how the kids are usually totally understanding, it’s the parents & teachers who get really pissed off about this.

Every email I ever send: Hello! I am extremely excited to be corresponding with you! You can tell by the number of exclamation points I use! Here is one sentence with a period so that I don’t come across as manic. Thanks!

Library patron marches up to the reference desk and plants herself with a sidelong glance and says "Okay, are you ready for this?" And I'm like "Well I was, until you said that."

This patron always angles for special treatment -- such as exemptions from policies governing loan periods and use of meeting rooms -- based on his claim that his mother was a librarian.
