The Library Is Not Your Personal Frigging Blockbuster

Lady, I could care less if you travelled from Timbuktu to borrow a copy of No Country for Old Men and we just happened to the only branch that had it. Here’s how things work. You go on a computer and punch our library’s website, and it tells you that we have a certain item you need. Fair enough. You then get in your car and proceed to the said library. Now on route to the library, several things can happen. A person that is already in the library could (gasp!!!) see it and decide to borrow it. Yes, this has has been known to happen in libraries across the world. People see things that they want to read and watch and decide to borrow it. Shocking, I know. Now in the event of such happening, feel free to accept the fact that what is in the library is what we have on the shelves. Please don’t expect us to pull this stuff out of our asses. Standing in front of the circulation staff, holding up the rest of the line as you DEMAND to know where that precious copy of No Country for Old Men disappeared to isn’t helping you and it DAMN sure isn’t helping the folks, with relevant needs, standing behind you.  So please, if you need your video fix so badly, feel free to get a subscription to Netflix or Blockbuster and PISS OFF, so we can help the other customers that have urgent needs. Thank you, we hope you understand.

PS. Work on your dental hygiene.
