A Library Story: Building a New Central Library | Jennifer Vogel

I worked the Circ Desk today. After waiting in line, an elderly woman came up to the desk (her husband lingered behind) & said loudly, "I need to find something sensual." I went ? *blink blink*. Everyone's watching me. I said, "Umm, I...think you might have come to the wrong place and asked the wrong guy." Everyone laughed, whew! Turns out she was looking for "Simply Sensual", she's a big Carly Phillips fan. ? #librarystory #LitsyLovesLibraries

Seekingtardis I got asked for a “tree-ology” once, when I asked if she was looking for books about trees she said no it‘s like when there‘s more than one book! Trilogy, trilogy would be the word you are looking for. 😂😂 (edited) 7y

LibrarianRyan Had a older patron ask for the porn section. 7y

Leftcoastzen As a bookseller I got the “treeology” now and then.Senior couple came in often , she read widely , her husband only the Longarm series.She said “My Husband sure loves westerns.” I wanted to say ,No,your husband likes explicit sex and violence in a western setting.Ride um cowboy has a whole other meaning .😆😉🙄 7y

Bookzombie 😂😂 7y

Bookzombie @Leftcoastzen I had to go lookup that series and a teeny tiny part of me is curious. 😆 Also, according to Wikipedia there are 400 books in that series!!! Crazy! 7y

ReadingEnvy But what if a patron *had* asked for sensual reads? Isn't that valid question? 7y

Leftcoastzen @Bookzombie Right!?!😂 7y

MrBook @ReadingEnvy Oh yeah, it's definitely valid, I've been asked about erotica. It was the tone she asked it in, lol. I wish I could find the words to convey it, so perfectly done, lol. 7y

MrBook @Bookzombie 😳 Wooow! 7y

Okay. #Librarystory time! I'm sitting at the Reference Desk when this older woman comes upstairs in a flurry. "My sausage! My sausage! Where's my sausage?!" *blink blink* Uhh. "I left my sausage, and I have to get it HOME!" Uhhhhh. So I asked, "Where did you last see your...sausage, m'am?" We walked back to the spot and it was there alright. Whole package of 'em! Johnsonville brats! She had to get them to her fridge. ??? #LitsyLovesLibraries

EchoLogical 😂 7y

LuLeeBelle I've heard enough librarian stories about patrons asking if the librarian knows their (the patrons') various personal passwords. But THIS is a new one. 7y

RowReads1 😂it's a good thing she wasn't going around blaming people for taking her sausage. 7y

#LibraryStory time! The construction continues by the Reference Desk I man in the main library. I had to go in the back staff area to retrieve an item for a patron. As I opened the door, one of my colleagues was about to open the door from the other side. So, being the gentleman I am, I stepped back to let her pass through first...right into a just-painted wall 😩. Leave it to MrBook to get wet paint on him if it's in the vicinity! 🤦🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️

DGRachel Oh no!! 7y

LeahBergen Are you standing in the library with your pants off now?? 😂 7y

saresmoore @LeahBergen My thoughts exactly! 7y

drokka @LeahBergen 😂 7y

MrBook @LeahBergen @saresmoore @drokka 😂 No. Well, technically yes, in the staff bathroom (locked). I came out fully clothed with a wet ass though 🙄. On the bright side, it's keeping me cooler than I otherwise would be 😁. Always look for the silver lining 😉...well, 7y

MrBook In this case, the wet one 😎👍🏻. 7y

#LibraryStory for you. A woman comes up to the Circulation Desk today. "I have a hold and I'm here to pick it up." Okay. Find it and bring it over to her. And she tsk-tsk-tsk's. She complained that it's been used. .....Hello, it's a library book! ???‍♂️ #LitsyLovesLibraries

AbstractMonica I didn't think people like that existed in libraries 😔 8y

Camsmom2010 Gotta love customer service! Gah! 8y

Valink When I was a kid I was a bit of a germaphobe. I wouldn't read library books because I was afraid people would pick their nose and have boogers on their finger when they turn the page, or read in the bathroom.... maybe that's why I mainly read e-books from the library! Lol. (edited) 8y

#LibraryStory time!

So, there's a really big blizzard heading in our direction. Turns out, my library is the 3rd slot on most people's 1-stop-shop trip 😆.

Stop 1: Weis Market. Milk, bread, eggs, water. Next door is...
Stop 2: Wines & Spirits. The booooze. One lot over is...
Stop 3: The library. DVDs, cds, and books.

Save the best for last 😉👌🏻! #LitsyLovesLibraries

Nerdfins I like these priorities. 🥛🍞🍷📚 8y

TheLondonBookworm Sounds good to me! Of corse I've never actually witnessed a proper blizzard..... 8y

KCorter Sounds like my hurricane prep! Haha 8y

beagle.mama My typical Sunday..... 8y

Theresa Who needs milk & bread?? Wine & books are enough to get me through any storm! 🍷📚 8y

SaraFair Would rather have my puck of books over my pick of bread, but at least people are using their time wisely? 8y

Pinkmeghan Really?!?! I do it in the opposite order! Library, packie (I'm from Boston 😂) then grocery store! 8y
