Dora Finds Library Work Presents Interesting Incidents
One day my friend Dora, a student library assistant, was shelving magazines in the stacks, when a woman with a cane wandered in the back door and looked around with a lost expression.
"Where is the physical therapy department?" she asked.
In astonishment, Dora asked,
"Where is what?"
"In't this Watkins Hospital?" the woman asked.
Dora explained that this was Watson Library, and that Watkins Hospital was located about 200 yards away.
Confusing incidents are not unusual in Watson Library, Dora says
Julie London Checked it Out?
When a periodical is overdue and the librarian gets ready to send out a notice, she may find that the call slip says it was "Julie London" or "Mahalia Jackson" who borrowed the magazine.
Dora was quite disappointed that she had to work the evening of the KU-K-State play-off before the NCAA tournament. She knew that she wouldn't even be able to listen to the game on the radio; but Dora's problem was solved. She found that by sitting near the heating pipe, she could hear the radio from the photographic laboratory on the floor below.
Crowd Wants to Know Score
Dora signaled the scores to a friend and soon had an eager group of students crowding around her to find out the score.
Last week, Dora got quite a shock when she looked up from her work into the face of a huge dog. It seems that the dog had found a quiet place to take a nap.
Opening mail from all over the world occupies a great portion of Dora's time and collecting stamps from the packages is an interesting hobby.
Dora has her pet peeves, too. She says the people who disgust her the most are the ones who never put magazines back on the shelves or
who never put them in the racks in the right places.
Librarians Are Quiet
Librarians are usually thought of as quiet people, but Dora said that during a coffee break they can make enough noise in the staff room to be heard in the undergraduate library.
"I like to help people and I find them very interesting," Dora said. "But, people get very disturbed when you do not have the periodical that they want, cannot find it, or it is checked out to someone else."
One problem of Dora's is the people who want to go back to the stacks and look for their own magazines. "I have to be rather blunt sometimes to keep people out of the closed stacks," she said.
"In spite of all my problems, I really enjoy my work," Dora concluded.
Van Cleef and Arpels showed a collection of buttons fashioned from a combination of precious jewels and ranging in price from $2,300 to $9,000. A gold, emerald, sapphire and pearl combination adds up to that $2,300.
NEW YORK—(UPI)—The pearl button looks pretty plain alongside new jeweled fasteners featured by one New York firm.
