As librarians, our job wouldn't be what it is without all of you, our beloved library patrons. Whether you're a librarian or a devoted library patron, there is no doubt that this book will make you chuckle while you're reading it. Compiled by Gena Sheridan, a public reference librarian, this book is just that..."a collection of crazy stories from the stacks." The author, in true librarian fashion, classifies the entries in terms of their Dewey Decimal number including such subjects as computers, reading interests and habits, human anatomy, and telephones.
These brief library anecdotes talk about interesting librarian/patron interactions, lost library books, and intriguing reference questions. If you're looking for a fast read, appreciate your local library (and its librarians!) take a little bit of time out of your day to read this book. It'll make you smile, shake your head, and go huh all at the same time. These are the things that library school surely didn't prepare us for.
And we promise, we're not collecting any stories.
