There were some interesting requests at the reference desk this past Saturday. One patron wanted help finding products that would allow him to murder every single dust mite in his home. He was pretty freaked out about it��You try to kill them but they keep coming back! They are everywhere! Little monsters!!� Another wanted a copy of Dianetics, and was upset that we didn�t have a copy in the branch. I guess when you start to feel the pull of Scientology you want to get started right away. Just look what it�s done for Tom Cruise.
There was also a pregnant patron who was pregnant in a way I had never seen before. She was incredibly skinny except for this giant bulge which started pretty much right under her chin and then ballooned out in an insane way, as if she had an oversized beach ball under there. She was older, too, so I thought, maybe this is what happens when 45-year-old women take fertility treatments and become pregnant with a giant litter instead of a normal number of babies.
I said to the YA librarian, �I�ve never seen anyone that pregnant.�
�Ah, yeah, she�s not pregnant. She�s psychotic. She�s got some crazy apparatus stuffed under there. She�s been in all week.�
