Location: Chicago Public Library Lincoln Park Branch
On Wednesday evening I walked to the Library. Placed Barrel Fever, by David Sedaris into the return book slot and noticed that the two computers equipped with card catalogs were occupied. I roamed through the stacks for a while waiting for a computer to open up. 15 minutes later, the computers were still occupied. I approach the front desk,
Me: "Excuse me, are those the only two computers that have card catalogs on them?"
Librarian: "Oh, are you the woman looking for books on sexuality?"
.............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................. What the fuck?
Me: "Um no, actually that wasn't me."
Librarian: "Oh sorry, yes those are the only 2 computers with card catalogs."
I walked away shame faced. Who knew the library could be so awkward?
