Four librarians share conversations that made their days.

✦ During story time, I read a book that mentioned doughnuts growing on trees. Me: “I want to live in a world where doughnuts grow on trees!” Child: “I want to live in a world where bananas grow on trees.”

✦ A patron’s question for the reference desk: “Can you come and get a raccoon out of my house?”

✦ A patron came up to the desk to check out a book. Me: “I’m so sorry, but you won’t be able to check out since you owe $173.” Man: “173? That’s how much I weigh too!”

✦ A six-year-old girl asked me: “Do you have any books about how to make boys cry?”
