What some people really asked at the library.
Do you have books here?"
"Do you have a list of all the books I've ever read?"
"Where is the reference desk?"
This was asked of a person sitting at a desk who had hanging above her head a sign saying "REFERENCE DESK"!
"I was here about three weeks ago looking at a cookbook that cost $39.95. Do you know which one it is?"
"Which outlets in the library are appropriate for my hairdryer?"
"Can you tell me why so many famous Civil War battles were fought on National Park Sites?"
"Do you have any books with photographs of dinosaurs?"
"I need a color photograph of George Washington [Christopher Columbus, King Arthur, Moses, Socrates, etc.]"
"Is the basement upstairs?" (Asked at First Floor Reference Desk)
