I would have gotten steamed inside. Asked if this is something we could have the
kids work on- our third graders by this time of the year can do a subject search
and find books by Dewey. If I get a no then I say- oh I have ten minutes- Would not
take the piece of paper- have the teacher read off topics as I pull off books from
the shelves and hand them off to her at a brisk pace. Skip all topics that would
take a catalog search like Viper Fish and Hybrid cars . Have her leave the books
at the circ desk with a note for check out and pick up tomorrow morning and say
gosh I wish we had more time- thanks for coming to the library and return to the
task I was working on when she showed up. ( probably would sit down at my computer
first for a quick LM NET vent)
