Teenagers at the library are sometimes irritating, because they are often noisy or rude. But there is one great advantage to teenagers at the library that I really don't feel is celebrated enough.

With small children, when they ask a question, I try to be upbeat and supportive (if they look shy). When adults ask a question, I do my best to be cheerful, helpful, and respectful.

When teenagers ask a question, especially if it's a question with an easy answer that they could totally figure out on their own? 90% of the time, it is completely acceptable (and possibly even slightly more respected) to be a sarcastic bastard.

Which is just such a relief, I can't even tell you. Where are the Stephen King novels? They are in fiction. Under King. There is no other demographic I can say that too. It's pretty great.
