As a library assistant, you should be ready to greet the world with open arms. You arrive to the smell of books in the air, friendly hello's from your co-workers, but then...

The same people as last Wednesday, asking me for the same reserve book that we don't have on reserve.

"The printer isn't working, can you fix it?” Do I look like David from IT to you?3. The mom's that come into the library to use the computers.

1. 4. When a study table comes in...
   5. When you find reference books piled high on tables right before closing time.6. When students fall backwards in recliners after they've fallen asleep.7. When people head to the basement to 'study and chill'
   8. When underclassmen try and flirt with you with cheesy pick-up lines. when IT says that they’ve reconnected the wifi but you know it’ll be back down within the hour.10. When it's twenty minutes past closing and one person at the computers won't leave.But, there's always a glimmer of hope when you help someone fall in love with a book or find a really great reference. It makes you realize that the library isn't such a bad place after all.
