silveradept1) If you think your child might produce biologically hazardous material such as vomit...stay home. Please. Stay home.
2) There is no such thing as "real books". Stories are stories, regardless of the way they are told. To prize print over graphics is to potentially kill interest in reading.
3) For my young users: Talk to me, and speak up, please. I'm looking at you for a reason - you know better than your parents or anyone else what qustion you really have.
4) Toddlers and babies are not things to be set down or left somewhere, even for a quick trip to the bathroom. Children are not to be left to their own devices without seupervision. For their safety and ours.
5) I will evaluate the request you make to me for the likelihood of being able to find information on it. The more esoteric the information, the more likely there will not be any books on it, nor any reputable articles that I will feel comfortable recommending.
6) Teachers: There is such a thing as too esoteric an assignment for the public library.
6b) Taxpayers: School libraries are important and necessary. FUND THEM. The public library will not be able to provide institutional support if you shortsightedly shortchange your school's funding.
7) I would really appreciate you taking me up on the offer of not wearing shoes and wearing pajamas (that you can wear in public) in story time. For both you, children, and you, adults. I do not say these things merely as self-justification for my own costuming choices.
8) When the fire alarm sounds, it is procedure to evacuate the building. Yes, even if there's no actual fire. Yes, even if you overheard the explanation for things going off. Your computer time is not that important. Get. Out.
9) Person: If i have told you three times that there's nothing checked out on your card, asking me when the movies you have from us are due is not going to change my answer. Bring them back so we can check them out properly and then you will have a due date.
10) At no point is it going to be socially acceptable for your children to run about into the fountain jets naked.
11) It is not funny, amusing, or cool to remove the labels indicating where the library and the parking garage exit is from the elevator.
12) The parking garage is not an indoor skate park, no matter how much it looks like one.
13) If you are going to give your child a telephone to carry about with them, you really should make sure that it works and can call you.
