Hurry, it’s now or never
What’s the rush? Don’t
we have all afternoon together?
We do, but Ms. Greybeard over there is only going to be gone
for 140-150 seconds, just over 2 minutes.
How do you know that?
Believe me, I’ve worked here long enough to know how long my
boss takes in the bathroom.
What can we do in two minutes?
Plenty, if you’d just stop talking.
Like what?
Follow me, the history stacks are better.
Why?
Because they are taller.
So what? Hey, slow
down?
No, you speed up.
Why are these stacks so special?
One, Greybeard rarely walks this far
Two, Nobody does hardcopy research
And Three, They have ladders.
I don’t get it.
Damn, you are pretty slow for a kid who’s in the library all
day.
What? Why are you
climbing the ladder?
I’m looking for Dewey Decimal section 176, and hurry, please
hurry!!!

I only had one real adventure in the library stacks, so, thank you Beth, wherever you are.
