Questions Asked of Librarians
The following have all been asked of library reference desk workers in the USA and Canada.
"Is the basement upstairs?"
"I am looking for a list of laws that I can break that would send me back to jail for a couple of months."
"I got a quote from a book I turned in last week but I forgot to write down the author and title. It's big and red, and I found it on the top shelf. Can you find it for me?"

Library Anecdote:
Patron: "I am looking for a globe of the earth."
Librarian: "We have a table-top model over here."
Patron: "No, that's not good enough. Don't you have a life-size?"
Librarian: (pause) "Yes, but it's in use right now."

Actually, the "bargain basement" at Lazarus, Columbus's hometown department store (owned by Macy's now, I think), got moved up to like the sixth floor in the downtown store... And they still called it the "bargain basement."

I'm kinda partial to the question ""Which outlets in the library are appropriate for my hairdryer?""
Ya know, because of my long hair and stuff.. |
