Today our computers have already gone down and will probably be down most of the day. This is noteworthy because it is interesting to observe how few people actually read in the library. We have a sign on all three doors leading into the library and still people tell us they need to get on the computer. Journey back with me through the archives of my mind.....
Picture it... tax time (January thru April)...We have NO TAX FORMS plastered all over the library...one on each door....one on the display case...and one on our circulation desk. One day a man came in and looked at each sign and asked, "Do you have tax forms?". Not to be outdone another woman came in and looked at the signs which had the / and a circle over them (as in no smoking) and said that she thought it meant that we did have them. I guess she thought it was a double negative meaning that we do have them.
I have been in the library when it is closed and there have been signs up saying that we are closed. It's amazing to me how many people pull on the door anyway. What I want to know is what they would do if the door opened and no one was here.
