I share an office with 8 other people spanning two
departments. Funnily enough (or “understandably enough”, still undecided) three
people who are technically in the same library department as me make up
Homebound Services. Together, seven of us are Outreach and Youth Services (or “Outreach”,
for short).
If you were to visit our office on any given day, you might
catch one of our Homebound staff members reading aloud a list of available
romance novels, describing each cover. Or they might read summary after summary
of movies a patron might want (I like to play the game of “guess the title” to
myself). Their reader’s advisory phone calls are peppered with conversations
about their patron’s daily lives.
And sometimes, you might overhear them say something that
sparks this particularly popular, caps-locked tweet.
