Sometimes you can't help but laugh at older patrons that come into the library, they are hard of hearing, and sometimes I do have to yell in the library so they won't misunderstand me. One day a woman (who we will call Mrs. LP) came into the library and we had just that example of a misunderstanding.
Mrs. LP: 'Do you have any large print books?"
Me: "Yes."
Mrs. LP: "Where?"
I show her to the area, and she looks at me and says, "No I know where the large prints are."
I give her a questioning expression and she says, "I want to know about new Large Print."
"This is all we have."
She pats my arm and says, "Oh well dear, you can't help it."
WHAT IS SHE TALKING ABOUT!!!! *slowly edging away*
