Here's another info desk encounter similar to the cartoon from a couple of posts ago. This time I tried to imagine what it would be like to communicate with a Paris Hilton type of patron.
These are great! I'm a former librarian and I can really relate to many of these. We actually had a book on puppy obedience training that was returned with the corners chewed off. Then there was the Memory Book that was always several months overdue. The best one was when a patron returned a brand new popular novel with its new cover all shriveled up. She had heard on TV that microwaving library books for a few seconds killed germs. Unfortunately, there was actual aluminum foil used in the illustration of the cover....it melted.

Thanks for the comments Jazz, Dawn, & Kim!
That's amazing!
I mean that she stepped away from the cell phone long enough to actually talk to the person at the desk.
Most patrons won't bother.
True words, Mushroom.
Great, very funny, and so true.
Thanks rjm. Hope all is well in Oz.
