Behind-The-Scenes

Alright, so some of my friend who read this blog have been asking me what a librarian does to have fun. So like all those movies that have behind-the-scenes footage of actors making a fool of themselves, so do librarians. If you remember from my last post about the Sir Walter Scott thing, I will explain.

As a librarian, you have to find your fun where you can get it. In the offices behind the actual seen library, and in the shifter room, a good size room that lets us move our books around that have been check-in and out, there is a LONG hall that's waxed weekly. So when we have an old book that has some good paper in it, that hasn't been used in a long while, we have some fun!

First off, we take it out of our catalog and try to sale it.

Then if that doesn't work we steal it off the sales rack and during our breaks we rip out pages.

Now the reason for this is, you lay a nice slightly fuzzy page on the ground. Step back about ten feet and get a running start. We jump on the piece of paper and surf it down the hall. It is one of the few joys of being a librarian!
