A nice tidbit of true stories that happen within the library. Mr. Borchert came into the library field as a clerk, no library degree needed. Over time he learned about the people that come and go through the years in a neighborhood branch. There are parents bringing in their children for storytime and school-age kids coming in after school (some of them staying at the library until closing time when their parents will pick them up). There are older folks coming in to get their daily or weekly library dose. And sometimes there are people who come in and abuse their library priveleges by taking and never returning books, being verbally abusive to staff, and some who try to use the library to conduct illict business. And there are staff members who come and go.

So, for those who want to know what it is like to work in a public library. Mr. Borchert gives you the full (and accurate) scoop.
