Miscellania

Today I:
- Made Summer Reading Club completion packets (set of 10 stickers, entry form for Breakfast of Champions, Wall of Fame slip, 10 More Books form)
- Shadowed on the reference desk for most of the day as other people cycled in and out
- Tidied children’s room (oy, the tidying that was needed. We’ve been hugely busy.)
- Politely asked a lady to leave the meeting room, which should have been locked. She was very nice about it and just needed a plug for her laptop. I sent her to the study area in the back of the library and all was wel.
- Helped the teen librarian find paranormal romances for her display and got to dig through the newly arrived uncataloged paperbacks.
No particularly exciting reference questions, just an incident where a girl was looking for one of the innumerable Flower (or Sport, or Jewel, or Dance) Fairy books by Daisy Meadows and I searched the catalog but neglected to do it last name first and failed to turn anything up, which I knew was wrong.
Things I learned today:
- LAST NAME FIRST when doing author searches.
- Lock the meeting room, and be nice and probably people will not get cantankerous.
