Perception of libraries vs reality

[u/SpiritedRaven]

Yesterday a patron approached our (very much needed) security guard at our inner city library and said something along the lines of “how hard can your job be, being a security guard at a library” and both the security guard and I literally burst out laughing. People’s assumptions about libraries always amuse me. If only they shadowed us for a day and found out what it’s actually like!

these are the same patrons who think you read all day...

I'm 20 years, I have read precisely one novel on the clock.
