The First Call
Yesterday, our little free library had it’s first incoming phone call! (Our Google page has us on the map with operating hours and a phone number.) The female caller wanted to make sure we were open on the weekend before she stopped by.
The Second Call
A few minutes later we got another call asking for the library. It was a man who said he was on our street, but couldn’t see the library. Knowing that it’s rather small and not necessarily easy to see coming around the corner in a car, I stepped outside and both verbally and visually (I could see his car) directed him to where it was. As he pulled up, with the woman who turned out to be the first caller, she asked:
Do you have a photocopier?
I did my best not to laugh out loud and explained that we’re just a humble, free neighborhood library and our entire library is smaller than the average photocopier!
We chatted for a moment and I directed her to a few nearby libraries and some local business services that offer photocopying. I’m still chuckling about the experience today…
So… No fax or snack Machine? Well THE nerve!
Stop!!! You made me spit out my iced coffee.
That is hilarious!
Hmmmm, Mary Lou, your iced coffee comment makes me think there’s room on Chris’s street for a latte stand…. just sayin’ 🙂
