Shhhhhhh.

They deliberately scan the books returned overnight without knowing who borrowed the books or whether the books had been borrowed.

Then they wander about quite, quietly re-stacking the shelves, finding where the books go, and singing in their mind in a lovely contralto or contra tenor:

@abdrazak,
They prepare a giant urn of coffee and make sure no one has messed with the card catalog.

What self-respecting public or academic library still uses card catalogues?

I can't speak for the rest but I start the day with a couple of shots of O.P. rum to steady my nerves before dealing with the 'I borrowed a blue book here last year, where is it?' questions.

@knaivete,
Libarians (intentional mispelling) do not do this. Library assistants and student shelvers do it. An MLIS gives you some privileges.

@hingehead,
My mom used to always have a seriously onion-heavy lunch so she could deal with those questions in the afternoons. Stinky breath FTW.

She also really likes onions.
