Teachers request Borders?

[Su Epstein <SuE@GFACADEMY.ORG>]

Hello All,
    For those of us who find ourselves faced with classes that arrive
unannounced and teachers who arrive at 8 am asking for our services at
8:02... AND for those who do NOT think that the local book store = public
library - I share this horrifying tale:

   My husband (who has an MLS and just finished getting his teaching
certificate in 6-12 Language Arts) works part time at our local Borders.
The other evening a middle aged woman approached him at the customer service
desk to announce she was a teacher and ask if she needed any paper work to
fill out to bring her class in the following week, as they were doing a
history paper.  She didn't understand when he said, 'this is a *bookstore*.'
She repeated her request - explaining that she had a class of about 20 and
they would be working in the history section.
    She was quite irate when he told her they ~sell~ books -and that she
should contact the library.

   Su
