5 hours A and one hour J in the middle. Some busy stretches, but they were mostly getting people set up to use the computers so they don't count as questions. Here are some of the questions/requests:
where are the audio books? (back wall)
can I get my library card # if I forgot my card? (front desk)
help putting book on hold
Trifle recipes
request that the library carry more *new* Chinese DVDs (noting that our list on the web site has July-August videos listed)
latest version of the Writer's Market
R is for Ricochet
colored photos of Mexico (sent them to J972, which I knew from weeding yesterday!)
Mexican American culture
adolecent pychology and immigrant children
sticker
corn snakes
4 year old with behavior problems, books for mom to figure out what to do
bathroom
guitar instruction videos
National Electrical Code
info about 1984's Measure B (a hard one! the full text newspaper databases go back to 1985, I found state measures online but not county-wide ones, I called the registrar of voters and they didn't have it on hand... so I set him up with the local paper on microfilm from Nov '84 and after a while he did find it)
Time Out software troubles...
stand-up comedy CDs (we really don't have much)
parent's corner
The Art of Shakespeare's Sonnets (called GI to expediate the hold)
meridians of the body
anatomy books
Sandra Day O'Conner biography
scissors
a teen classic over 250 pages
highlighter
look up obituary in SJ Merc
The Warriors (about fighting cats)
2003 MH Times microfilm
learn Spanish
Sudan genocide
look up a phone number
The Dog Who Cared Too Much
and back again tomorrow for more.
I should be at ALASC's Jessamyn West lecture tonight, but I was too tired and we had to take down the Sukkah and I really should work a bit more on these darn papers...
