Today

Started at Reference at 1 in the afternoon.

Man returned Newsday.

Woman patron put three books on reserve:



  • George, Elizabeth. This body of death







  • Clark, Mary Higgins. The shadow of your smile. 







  • Deliver us from evil Baldacci, David.








  • Woman called, looking for  It's complicated on DVD. Our three copies are out, overdue; she asked if they could be in the back. Told her they are out of the library. She said thanks you and hung up.

    Woman patron requested  Song of Solomon. Morrison, Toni.

    Woman patron asked for The bedwetter : stories of courage, redemption, and pee / Sarah Silverman.to be placed on hold.

    A patron called and asked to have  Game change: Obama and the Clintons, McCain and Palin, and the race of a lifetime / John Heilemann.  placed on hold.

    A woman asked for 1022 Evergreen Place. Macomber, Debbie (not due out until August)


    A patron asked if Nine parts of desire: the hidden world of Islamic women / Geraldine Brooks. is on CD. It is not.

    Man returned Newsday.

    Woman called, and asked for today's movie. Asked her to hold on, and she kept talking. Turns out, no movie today.

    Dr. Sheen returned the headphones (sank you bery much; he's not Latino, no.)

    People came out of the group study room.

    Man looking for Swimming in Auschwitz. Survival stories of six women [DVD]., and his library card expired two years ago.

    Between 1 and 3 there was quite a bit of activity; these are just the some of the ones  I handled. Took a coffee break at 3, returned to ID until 4. Light activity. Went to dinner.

    Down to Reference at 5. Started off with a student looking for a critical study of The dream of the red chamber. Found one owned by East Meadow and Manhasset libraries; as it turns out, his father owns a business in Manhasset. Had Manhasset Library put it on hold for him. Also showed him how to use databases to do research on his topic.
