Reference question of the day.

Okay, so I know reference questions don't belong on catalog cards. But I couldn't resist the combination of blyberg.net's Catalog Card Generator and the wonderful, crazy things people call the library to ask.

Did you know, by the way, that people still call the library to find out random bits of information? I encourage you to do the same. Google works just fine for run-of-the-mill telephone listing inquiries, but I recommend librarians for the real ephemera. It gives us something interesting and useful to do in between transferring phone lines and pointing the way to the restroom and income tax forms. More significantly, it delights and amuses us to no end.
