Had to ask “what is the protocol for poop on the floor?” at work today after finding a human turd by the Lego table.

Wow!

My professional life just got a lot more exciting. This morning, I was given a decision to make about my future and a firm handshake from the director of the library. Both options are great. I think one might be greater than the other, though.... I'll have to see how that plays out before I get into specifics.

Teen: Miss Sarah, have you treated yourself lately?

Me: I bought a rug yesterday if that counts.

Teen: Buying a rug is not treating yourself, Miss Sarah. You are worth more than that. How much was it? Where did you buy it?

Me: On Amazon.

Teen: You didn't even go to the store, Miss Sarah? Come on now.

Me:....

Teen: Let me guess what month you were born.

Had a patron whose card had his DOB as 1976 try to convince me he was 19 so that he could use the teen computers.

Sir, you’re as old as my parents. Please make your way to the adult section.

Why should I be disrespectful to the young reader by shielding them from what they already know?

Attended a fantastic and important discussion about race, racism, and education made painless through the One Maryland One Book program and its 2016 pick, “All American Boys.” Jason Reynolds and Brendan Kiely are great!
