Lack of updates...

If you have noticed there has been a dwindling number of updates as of late.....AND there is a reason for that. I am now in the adult world. I recently took a job at another library in their Reference and Nonfiction department. I have very little contact with kids now, which I do miss to a certain extent. I will still post time to time if I hear something, or remember a little funny tidbit. Feel free to check out my other blog, Confessions of a Librarian in Training

Cell Phones in the Library....

Dad starts texting on his cell phone when he is stopped by the library monitor (aka his son)

Son (about 6): NO CELL PHONES IN THE LIBRARY.... (as he points to our No Talking On Your Cell Phone Sign)

Dad (to us): He is very big on rules....

Paying for DVDs....

Girl (4 or 5 years old): I want to pay for my movies...

Little girl then hands me a card...

Me: You want to pay for your movies with a Panera Bread Gift Card?

Girl: Yes

Me: The movies are free sweetie. You don't have to pay for them.

Girl: Ok, thank you. *Takes the card back and picks out more movies*

Do fish sleep...

Side Note: This girl asked a million questions on this particular day..this was one I got.

Girl (about 9 or so): Do fish sleep?
Me: Well, lets find out. (I don't get too many reference questions in the Children's Department so I was stoked to put my skills to use - After a quick search this is what I found): Well, technically fish do not sleep but they have periods of rest where they conserve energy (or something scientific along those lines)
Girl: Well that makes sense since they don't have eyelashes.

Talking about learning the alphabet.

Girl 2 (same age): Oh, we are ahead of you! We are on "E."

Just Call Me

Boy (4 years old): Hi!, I'm G... If you need anything, just call Me! (As he said this, he had a huge grin on his face and pointed straight at his chest.)
