Work Life
By Kara Chatham

I work at a public Library which means two things; I work with books and bums. Since obtaining my job at the library I have learned a few things. I would like to share with you my top 10.

1.The library isn’t always necessarily quiet
2.The library is the quietest when we are closed.
3.It isn’t professional to walk around with various library materials on your head. (books, magazines, videos, oversize books or not)
4.It also is not professional work ethic to play with the toys you are supposed to be setting up for story time.
5.Homeless people are just people that live in public buildings-taking advantage of free meals at the Salvation army
6.Make friends with the security guards-they carry guns
7.When shelving in the Juvenile area-beware of speed bumps-also known as small children.
8.It isn’t nice to make fun of those Animation geeks that like to hang out in the Young Adult section and read Manga books…they have a life, just a very-er-different one.
9.Some people really don’t know anything about computers. (yes ma’am Internet Explorer is where you can check your email)
10.When one of those dumb blondes asks you for a book -do NOT answer ‘Sorry we don’t have any of those’ because she will probably believe you.
