Why not create your own list instead of looking to someone else to do it for you?

Because we are librarians and we do not think or do things on our own. Not unless a committee has approved it six months in advance.

You should see the AL's vetting committee, they should get out into the sun more.

OMG!!! I just read the 1st part of the article, which happens to include the last items on her list? So, who is this woman, and is she trying to be funny? Because she seems downright dowdy and boring. Why she gives us a bad name! I think AL could do a much better job promulgating such a list…

We have “Quiet Zone” signs, why can’t we have “No Stink Zone” signs? Put a red tape boundary around the Ref Desk (let Circ staff take care of themselves)at about 20 feet with a Stink-O-Meter and warning sign: “If alarm sounds, please return to lobby.”

“Personally, I found “18. Ask us what we read” amusing. Why on earth would anyone care what librarians read?” That might be funny if people didn’t actually want to know what I read. I am happy providing readers’ advisory for Elizabeth (age 10) and several of our avid Mystery readers. People do care what we read, when we read what is of interest to them.
Never the less, this is a good article.

“The comments on this thread reek of post-pubescent testosterone. Yawn……”

Why? Just because someone said he was a guy and was talking about cute girls? AL talks about cute (and non-cute) guys in the wilds of libraryland, so what the heck?

And who are you kidding with the “yawn” stuff? If you were really that bored you would not have bothered to comment. One might wonder whether you were really just someone with issues trying to get attention. One might wonder if I was also. One might also wonder who cares. Have a nice day – you might brighten it if you lose the ‘tude. I think I’ll lose my now. Be happy.

When I discover that almost all the comments made by me are not made by me it’s probably time to turn in my library card.

If patrons violate the barrier of the counter, I tell them to get the fuck back where they belong. Who the hell do they think they are? I have lots of sex magazines, I mean "literature" to review and keep from the general population.
