One of the best things about working at the library is those times when a patron you've never seen before comes in and you get to connect with that person immediately, just because they've asked you for a certain book.

First patron today is a kid who came up and asked if we have any Lovecraft. Alas, we have none at Kingston because we are a tiny branch so I told him I could put some on hold for him. "Or, well," I said, "I don't know if this would work for you but most of Mr Lovecraft's stories are available for free online. You're welcome to use one of our computers."

Man, I love watching people's faces light up when you tell them how to get just the book they want. And it is always lovely to meet a fellow fan.

First patron of the day. I'm going to be smiling about that for hours.
