Top 20 Things Librarians in Public Libraries Wish Patrons Knew or Did
This great four part series from the "Seattle Books Examiner" is an awesome run down of many of my pet peeves.

Some include:
17. Do not leave your child (or children) unattended--for their safety.
{This includes not letting them climb on the security gates.}

15. Please respect the desk barrier.
{Please don't take my desk chair so you can sit and browse the videos.}

4. Pay your fines.
{The library is the best value in town if you return your items on time. Please also expect to pay for the pages you printed.}

Please be patient it you email me. I will be out of the country for the next few weeks.

Have fun passing this message along to family and friends, because we all love free knowledge!
