San Antonio Public Library
I took some pictures of the San Antonio Public Library yesterday and had an odd story to relate after going to the basement to check out the booksale.

Probably they won’t do preventative maintenance after hours because then they’d have to pay the mechanics overtime. FWIW, I’m a librarian who’s married to an elevator mechanic. (Figure the odds, huh?)

I went to a marketing workshop where we were told by these marketing peeps that libraries and librarians are known for having really ineffectual signage.
Proof positive, I guess.

That’s so rude! Do you think the other woman worked there, or was friends with the librarian, or something? But whatever the reason: rude! Rudeness!
I thought people were supposed to be all warm and polite in the South. Another stereotype bites the dust, I guess.

Sorry about the signs, sometimes patrons (kids) mess around with them.
There are always the stairs!! It’s good for your health!

Hmm, I always saw the signs while on one of my frequent trips down there.
