That's a hoot....When I am in bookstores and I overhear people shyly
looking for help finding something, I jump right in to help too....one
of the perks of the job, I believe!

Okay so I am in Borders last night picking up some books for school and
some
Christmas gifts and I guess it's the librarian in me, but I am
listening
to what
people are looking for. Here are a couple of the conversations.

Couple #1
-"The Golden Compass, I wonder what that is?"

"It's a movie. The churches are protesting it because it is
controversial."

"Oh, never heard of it."


Couple #2
"I wonder if they have The kite runner on DVD?

I have to step in and say it has not been released on DVD yet.

"Wasn't there another one?

"Yes, it's called night of a thousand suns and it's right over there."

"Have you read it? Is it any good?"

"Yes, they are both very well written."

"Thanks."

Couple #3
" I would like to find Little Women and the Black Stallion but I don't
know
where to look because I don't know how they have things arranged
here."

"Let's just look around."

In my browsing I come across Little Women and tell them that I am
sorry
to eavesdrop but here is the book that they are looking for.

"It's so thick and there is more than one kind."

I continue shopping and find Black Stallion so I offer that to them.

"This is great. How do you find everything?"

"I guess it's because I'm a librarian and I am used to helping people
find
books."

"Thank you, we were so lucky to find a librarian doing her Christmas
shopping"


I think-Yes you were.
