On Sunday I worked at the Grand Concourse branch. I usually work there on Sunday two or three times a month. I am usually at the adult information desk. There’s a regular patron, a 3rd grader who comes in and always ask for my help with her homework packet.
Of course, I don’t mind. How tough can elementary school homework be, right? This week it was reference type questions. She needed to know was life was like 100 years ago. What was the price of milk, and a loaf of bread? How did people travel, were cars invented? I found the answers and I even printed out an image of the 1920 ford car. I guess since I was so helpful, she decided I help her with another assignment.
What was each month’s birthstones? I printed out pictures and each month and suggested she color them. She was extremely excited.
As she was leaving, she gave me an orange, and said thanks for my help.
Ahhhhhhhh.
An orange for the librarian.
