Patrons: the good, the bad, and the ugly
Really, they are not all bad. Yes they have done bad things and they have gotten caught. They are now incarcerated, but occassionaly one of them might surprise you. Working in a prison library I see it all when it comes to patron types. We all have them, the quiet one that comes in every week or couple of weeks. Wouldn’t really notice him or her, except that they are just like clockwork. Then there are those that when they walk in the door you cringe, you may even look for a place to hide, because you really just can’t deal with them today. I have those too, but thankfully the good far outnumber the bad. Patrons are the same in all libraries, I can honestly say that I don’t have any children, at least not any under 18. I also don’t have any women in my prison, but the rest of the population are fair game when it comes to the population that visits my library.
For some of the more interesting ones stay tuned…..
