1) Wear comfortable shoes. Flat shoes. With rubber soles. You're going to do a lot of walking.
2) Wear jazzy jewelry. The old lady librarian is a stereotype. Librarians now are young, hip and sexy.
3) Ask "What can I do for you?" instead of "May I help you?" People seem to like this better.
4) When someone asks you where a certain book is located, don't wave in the general direction of the book. Go with the patron and pull the book off the shelf for them.
5) Wipe your friends' overdue fines on the sly. Wink, wink.
Huh; nothing about pondering the merits of the Dewey Decimal system vs. ISBN vs. Library of Congress #s?
ReplyDeleteLCN totally wins but we're still using the Dewey. :/ I have the Dewey pretty much memorized though, so it's not all bad.
