darchildre: children reading books in a field. (books are for adventure!)

We're having one of our 3rd Graders To the Library tours today, part of which involves groups of 8 years olds getting a short tour of the library's backroom. These are the things that happen on these tours every time:

- At least one kid asks about the ladder that leads to the HVAC system maintenance hatch in the ceiling, and then asks if they can climb it

- All the kids are fascinated by how the bookdrops work, especially if we have a volunteer outside to put a book through on cue

- Someone always asks where we sleep

- Most of the kids are amazed by the existence of our breakroom kitchenette

It is always extremely charming.

That's fucking delightful <3 I choose to be extremely charmed that they think we sleep at work.

When I was at [previous!high-school-library job], we had the...I'm not sure what year group but the Littlests from the next door primary school, basically, come through and one of the kids gasped and with utter awe: "It's like a real library." I melted.

These are familiar things, yes, and they do not stop being adorable and charming just because they are familiar.
