Conversation in the Stacks today:
Patron: I’m looking for books on Mythology, can you tell me where to find them?
Me: Sure, let me walk you over.
[we walk over to proper section]
Me: Are you looking for any type of mythology?
Patron: I’m looking for Greek Mythology. I’ve been playing this game ‘God of War’ and it deals a lot with mythology.
So to recap: The patron came to the library looking for a book about Greek Mythology because his interest was piqued by a video game. I can now say with honesty that video games bring people to the library for books. I’ve seen it myself.

But, I’ve been here all day, and I can honestly tell you all he did NOT come in dressed like that. I kind of wish he had.
Still… nice story.
