We HEAR you

When you come in a library, what do you always remember a librarian doing?

Saying, "Shhhh."

That is still true today. It's extremely annoying when someone comes into the library and is pretty much yelling. Common curtsy people! And the worst part is when the patron won't be quiet. How many times have I had to tell a patron to step outside to talk on the phone, to shut up? Oh, I don't know a MILLION! What's also hilarious is how a lot of people think we are deaf, sorry not true.

We scare people with our good ears. We might be completely across the library, but we can hear you when you are whispering into the phone (when your not supposed to be on the phone!), and we can hear your friend talking back to you on the other end. So don't call us something behind our back (We might be liable of throwing you out of the library.)

So two warnings to you out there:

1.) Speak softly, we aren't deaf, and people don't need to hear about your toenail fungus.

2.) Don't think we don't hear you when you talk bad about us. (We make exceptional spies.)

Sincerely,

The Egg Wolfing, Exhausted Librarian
