How long have you been on the library staff?
Three years in April!
What is the most frequent question you are asked at the library?
I’m not sure we have just one question that is most frequently asked. Our most frequent requests are probably to renew books, assist someone with the public computers, send faxes, or answer questions about one of our many programs.
