Of course, you miss out on the browsing-for-hours part of a library visit this way.<BR/><BR/>On a side note, you seem to have attracted a troll Nem. I suggest we name him Franky.

Do you ever get the ones who refuse to even try the terminal and keyboard because a) they claim they can't see (I guess you need this book to help hold up your three-legged couch or perhaps you're looking for a make-shift T.V. tray.) or b) they have an "extreme" case of carpal tunnel syndrome (it must have been an excruciating experience for you to write out this 5 page list of books you want me to find in 3 minutes or less and equally daunting to then carry off the resulting 20 lbs. worth of J.D. Robb and his/her twin sister Nora's books before heading off to your tennis lesson--another reason you should not be making cell phone calls in the library as I tend to eavesdrop.)?<BR/>Librarian 2Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13684790.post-69258135745594441242008-11-20T07:48:00.000-07:002008-11-20T07:48:00.000-07:00You would spend 30 minutes going down the wrong pa...You would spend 30 minutes going down the wrong path, wracking your brain and those of your co-workers, possibly call other locations, and in the end, finally prove that the askee was wrong, but not have the book anyway.<BR/><BR/><BR/>How do I know?
