This is not the intervention desk! This is the help desk! You must intervene elsewhere! And it is not at all surprising you are so transfixed by this thread that you lost hold of your wine. This is as exciting as it gets, baby! No I didn't loose hold of my wine, I reached across to pick it up but put my fingers IN the wine instead... And yes, this thread is exciting (prepares section 136 paperwork...). |

Ralph, you must find out when the helpdesk opens.
Do people check out books at the help desk, or is there a separate desk for checking out?

There is the mighty manned helpdesk,
It is not in the least bit grotesque.
Who knows when it opens?
To find out give me the special tokens.

Right, and without the poetry? Is it the ONLY desk, or are there others with other jobs?

Of the help desks there is only one,
The source of all fun.
No other desks are real,
As illusionary as lemon peel.

So people check out books from a help desk?
The Monitor does not approve of this.

There is the mighty manned helpdesk. -Ralph Is it like King Frederick William I's Potsdam Giants? Is the Helpdesk manned by giant Prussian infantry soldiers? |

Something occurred to me on my Saturday constitutional into town this morning. We know when the help desk closes. But...
BUT.
When does the library *itself* close? For how long must the library go unassisted?

It is manned by Librarians. -Ralph Library staff workers or actual proper qualified Librarians? Both are good but not the same. |

It is open 24 hours. -Ralph This place sounds absolutely awesome. I am genuinely intrigued. So if it's open 24 hours, are there machines for checking out books when the help desk isn't open? This sounds magical. There's no way round these parts a library would be open but unmanned. You can return books via a machine in mine, but I don't think you can take em out without talking to a person. |
