Fun with a patron!

Today I had a lady request a book that she has been looking for quite a long time. She has Hyde Brothers looking for her, she's checked the Internet & the book cost several hundred dollars.
I asked her if she would like to do an Interlibrary Loan - boy was she excited! We found the book - only 12 places out there that have a copy! She was so excited - it was like Christmas for her. She couldn't wait to tell her friend who has been helping her look for this book.
It was so much fun to do this simple request for her - it meant a lot and she was happy. Doesn't get any better than that:)

Computer room

A middle school aged patron asked me, "Would you please come tell my brother to log off of his computer." "He won't listen to my mom."
