A lively day on the A desk working with the brand new teen librarian there who is great fun (and one lucky duck to have landed a nifty job). Here are some of the questions/requests:
topographical map of California
picking up an ILL hold
putting books on hold at another library
stuff on hanging clothes without getting hanger marks, etc.
crashed computer
printing problem x2
Angels and Demons in pb
login problems
printer jam x2
Horizon Storms on CD
construction of doors
stapler
found keys
awesome mystery reader's advisory where she wanted ones without too much violence, sex or gore -- turns out that's pretty much the criteria for winning an Agatha Award ("The genre is generally characterized by mysteries that contain no explicit sex, excessive gore, or gratuitous violence; usually featuring an amateur detective, they have a confined setting and characters who know one another.") so I got to talk about Carolyn Hart , Donna Andrews, Diane Mott Davidson, etc. (plus Dorothy Gilman and Alexander McCall Smith thrown in) It was tons of fun and makes me want to go read more mysteries!
The Wizard (1989 movie with Fred Savage that we don't seem to have)
did someone call his cell phone? guess not
I am not sick...

videos for adults (he corrected himself after asking for adult videos...)
help formatting a craigslist posting
