So many cool things going on at #alaac22 that are not included in the digital experience! Kind of a bummer. Even the membership meeting wasn't included.

I'd have paid more for more content.

Little girl has been humming the same two lines of some unidentifiable tune nonstop for 20 minutes. Take a breath, friend. #SundayLibrarian

Told a patron to "feed the beast" (aka put a dime in the copy machine) and he cracked up like it was the funniest thing he ever heard. It's the small things.

Child in the youth non-fic collection is making my day. "Books about dinosaurs!" "Ooooh, planets!" "DAD! DAD! DAD! CAN WE DO SCIENCE EXPERIMENTS AT HOME??"

Lol, fashion blogs are all "10 Thanksgiving outfits," but let's be real. The only question is sweat pants or pajama pants?

Got my microchip boosted. Goddang my arm hurts! Here's hoping that's the only side effect.

16 hours later, still feel totally fine. Holy crap my arm hurts though!
Patron: This book is missing. I've been looking for it for 3 years. Me: <Goes to the shelf, plucks it from its perfectly shelved spot> Last use date WAS 3 years ago, too. It's likely been right there all this time.
I survived an ice breaker AND a breakout session today. And both were good!

Instead of asking library staff to take more training on how to deal with the difficult patrons, I think we need to start asking the library patrons to be less difficult. #LIS 📚

In other news, we're hosting an online local author fair today if anyone's looking for something to do! plymouthlibrary.org/2021/04/…

I haven't seen a single unmasked patron in the library yet today. Either no one in this community is vaxxed, or we're all still masking.

UPDATE! 2 hours later, still 100% of patrons are masked. One lady forgot and went back out to her car to get it - completely unprompted by anyone.
