Patrons are interesting

I don't know if patrons are all-confiding at stationary libraries, but patrons on the bookmobile seem to share a lot of information. Maybe it is because the bookmobile is very casual and we get to know our patrons. (We see them every two weeks. They become regulars. As a side tangent, I have always wanted to be a regular at a restaurant or something where the staff know you and are happy to see you. Well, now I have a job where I am the regular and the patrons are the regulars. It is pretty cool. Anyways, back to what I was talking about.) I wanted to share funny anecdotes about my adventures with patrons.

Patron A has a friendly dog, and he's leaving and says everyone loves his dog.
Patron B says that the dog is better than him.

Ahhh . . . patrons!

Bookmobiles on TV

Two of my favorite bookmobiles on tv would have to be the bookburning mobile from the Simpsons and the bookmobile from South Park.

"They Saved Lisa's Brain"1022 AABF18 Original Airdate: 5/09/99

This episode is strange, but my favorite part comes when Lisa Simpson is approached by the Reverend Lovejoy in a Bookmobile. He asks her what her favorite book is. And she has a hard time deciding because there are so many good books, but she says that Jane Austen is always a favorite. The Reverend thanks her and drives away revealing he is driving a book burning mobile.

South Park Season 2 episode 203 titled "Chickenlover"

The bookmobile comes to town, and someone is molesting chickens. Of course it is the librarian!
