THE TARKIANA, 1938 TRIALS AND TRIBULATIONS OF A LIBRARIAN It doesn't take a great deal of intelligence to be a librarian, but one has to have nerves that can take it. For instance, in the winter some people cannot understand why they are not allowed to open the windows. Your made-to-order explanation, 'fIt disrupts the heating system is met with the old query Why? i The only answer you know is that it just does, which is no answer at all. Some people think it is a crime that they can't have reserve books before 8:45 in the evening. Others don't even bother to do such a ridiculous thing as check books before they take them out of the library. When someone is told that six books are the limit, they just can't understand why anyone would be so stingy and can't even remember such a rule. Even Have you read your handbook? doesn't convince them. ' ' I could name several other pet gripes and even some special problem children but I'll just sum them up with noise, confusion, misplacement of books, et cetera, ad infinitum. QYou'll find the meanings of those over there in the big Webster's dictionary,J Library work is so educational. You'd be surprised at how many new words you learn working cross-word puzzles. The people I hold highest in affection are those who arrive two minutes before closing time to get a ten minutesresume of the news. I also like those- who meet you in the hall on your way out and tell you there are two books they simply must have, What kind of work are you doing next year? Well, I'd advise you to be a library assistant. The work is just too, too, interesting. Excuse me a moment. Somebody wants to check out a book. I wonder what they think I'm here for, anyhow. - F. P.
