Day 29

Today was spent helping many patrons. The atmosphere of the library was very friendly. One frequent visitor was Dr. Bob who would often bring the library staff treats and other things. Today he brought each one of us some fresh chive. I made the mistake of eating it. Oh well.

This friendly atmosphere is quite unique as a few of the staff told me. I think they are right. There aren’t many libraries like this one.

A patron who had some trouble with his medical insurance needed to use our phone and fax quite a few times. I tried to be helpful but I think there was some miscommunication. He was very patient and that was quite helpful. He seemed to be in quite a stressful situation.

Day 30

This was my last day and I was presented with a going away gift bag. I was very surprised. I’m glad they valued my work for the library. I really enjoyed the staff and patrons and will miss them.

There was one incident today in which a patron printed a web page document that was a lot longer than she thought. We charge $.10 a page. She didn’t realize this and I was hoping she understood she would have to pay for the pages she didn’t want, which was also an issue. I don’t think she knew what she was printing out. Anyway, this incident ended with little conflict.
