Miss Information is annoyed on Friday
One patron wanted a book
called The Explosive Child about parenting children who are "easily frustrated".
The book was not in the library now, though Miss Information offered to place a
hold for the woman. The patron, no big surprise, became frustrated. She
complained that a big library like this should have the book she wanted. Why did
she have to wait? She did agree to have Miss Information place a request for her
but complained that the library had the wrong email address on file. Why did the
library have that email? It wasn't the best way to get in touch with her at all!
Stupid library. Miss Information corrected the information and bid farewell to
the woman and made plans to write a book called The Explosive Library
Patron.
Another annoyed person was using the Internet.
Her phone rang several times. Each time, the woman answered and snarled at the
caller, angrily announcing that she couldn't talk because she was in the
library! No! She didn't know when she could call back because she's in the
library!
The woman managed to be disruptive by not taking
a phone call. Miss Information was left to wonder why, after the first call, the
woman hadn't turned her phone off. People know they can do that, right?
