inconvenient/Doesn't match my schedule (we tried to tell our boss that, but he didn't care) |

way up on the 3rd Floor (oooo scary) |
5. | Library doesn't have what I want? (we have materials request forms - tell us what do you want????) | |

6. | I have Internet at home | |

|
| 8. | It's
too crowded - too many people (the more the merrier) |
8. | It's
too confusing to use (We are here to help you! - we don't bite... much) |

always closed (I'm getting paid to be here 40 hours a week and the first thing we do is unlock the door - well... right after the coffees made) |
9. | I go to
the TLCC instead (We like them too - at least your keeping it in the family) |
|
| 10. | It's too confusing to use | 10. | Doesn't match my schedule |
And here are some additional answers that did not make the top ten list, but are worthy of a place on this prestigious web site.
I don't go to the PCC Library because...
I can't go in my underwear
(sure you can... just wear something over your underwear - we do it everyday.)
The Librarians are mean
(Only when we whip the cream and beat the eggs... never mind that's chefs)
I'm busy looking for Jesus
(Good luck)
Where's the ice rink, I want to
ride the Zamboni
(Insurance issues and Bill had to take
the Zamboni to be serviced - sorry)
People scare me - there are too many
quiet corners
(me too - that's why I stay our here at the reference desk)
I think someone is stalking me
(Silly, that's just the librarian)
It smells funny in there
(That's all the knowledge, remember)
The desks need telephones
(My desk has a telephone - and I usually wish it didn't)
I think someone is stalking me
(Silly, that's just the librarian)
I can get plenty of Internet porn
at home
(and let's just keep it that way)
I'm at home
(Yup, that pretty much would defy the laws of nature if you were in two places
at once)
I think someone is stalking me
(Silly, that's just the librarian)
You have to be quiet and on your
best behavior
(Someone should have told us this earlier - certainly explains a lot)
I didn't know we had a library
(It's the place with the books)
My ID picture is ugly
(Put your thumb over it - unless your thumb is ugly too)
It's embarrassing to watch my friend
hitting on the librarians
(but think of the joy it brings the librarian)
The cute guy isn't there
(He's got to be somewhere)
I just rent the movie instead
("Return of the Encyclopedia Britannica!!!" - Ya, I saw that one)
I might see someone there that I
don't like
(Geez... talk about a 1/2 empty glass)
Please, Ghost of Library Day Present take me back to the Library Web Site
