{ Library is the New Kinkos }
-ExcellentApparently the library is a sort of free Kinkos. Today's transaction went like this:
Patron: “Maaaamm, I need some copies.”
Me: “Copier is right there.”
Patron: (makes a poof sound) “I don't know how to use that thing.”
I demonstrate how to “use that thing.” After they are done “using that thing” (The big green button makes it go, not the coin release lever. Please don't spread your files on the circulation desk, other people want to put their books there. No, your paper has to go face down on the glass for the “magic eye” to see it. Where the little arrow is. No, don't push the coin release. The big green one....”) they ask for a stapler. Ok. And White out. Ok..... “And some paper clips? Do you have a manilla folder? And I need to fax this.”
“We don't have a fax machine.”
“Well fuck, what good is the library anyway?”
“ You're right. No good. I suggest you try Kinkos.”
