Nice people at the library and what they say:



"You're a cheap bastard!" (county took away drop off ballot boxes, nothing to do with the library or the library assistant being accused of frugality)



"You are the devil in disguise" (said to same library assistant because she smiles a lot)

Take a librarian to lunch
You know that she deserves it.
Ascertain her favorite food,
And find a place that serves it.

Seek out, too, an ambiance
That you are sure will suit her.
Some place that bans all little kids
And where there's no computer.

Serve her with her favorite drink:
Champagne? Or something diet?
And make it clear that, at this meal,
There are no rules on quiet.

Ask her to tell you of her job:
Which books are circulating?
Which patron said what funny thing?
You’ll find it fascinating.

But do leave promptly when you’ve shared
Good talk and drink and food.
Librarians must be back when due
And may not be renewed.

N.B. Nothing here should be construed as precluding the taking of a male librarian to lunch.
