Friendliest library staff???? HAH! No way, no how!!! This used to be the best little library around a couple of years back. It DID have the friendliest staff! By far and away. But Natalie left and so have most if not all the staff that was with her and they have been replaced with no personality people that barley move to help you. I tried to check out a book at the self check out that didn't work, for whatever reason. Went up to the counter where this unattractive, un-personality female, with no-name tag was staring at the computer.
I told her my predicament and she proceeded to just kinda take my card and take the book. Gave me NO indication of anything and then just blandly with a SLIGHT "Yeah, you were trying to steal this book weren't you." tone to her voice said: "No, it didn't"
Checked it out, asked even more blandly (I REALLY didn't think it was possible) if I wanted a printed receipt. Yeah, you guessed it, I put her out by saying yes. She had it to me and then went back to her computer. And her robotic... and really I'm being hurtful to talking robots everywhere because they have MUCH more enjoyment in their voices she said "Have a nice day." I'm not sure she got all the words actually verbalized out, but that was the connotation I took from it.
And now they want a bond to make a bigger and more staffed place... oh goody...
