Reference Desk

Due to staff vacations and the early arrival of a grandchild, the reference staff at my library was short-handed. I was so excited because that meant for two days in a row I got to cover the reference desk for lunches! I thought it would be a great because it would give me something to blog about - real reference desk experience! Things don't always work the way you think they will. Two days in a row I had ZERO questions at the reference desk! I answer more reference type questions than that on a daily basis because I answer the library's phone! I couldn't believe it! I can tell that things are slowing down a bit in the library because of the holidays but I'm still in shock that I didn't get to answer any questions while on duty at the reference desk!! Oh well!
