Comments on: Reference Question of the Week – 1/20/13 http://www.swissarmylibrarian.net/2013/01/26/reference-question-of-the-week-12013/ or, The Hitchhiker’s Guide to Fear and Loathing at a Public Library Reference Desk Sun, 16 Apr 2017 14:36:30 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=4.7.4 By: Michael Golrick http://www.swissarmylibrarian.net/2013/01/26/reference-question-of-the-week-12013/#comment-19702 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 12:14:20 +0000 http://www.swissarmylibrarian.net/?p=3982#comment-19702 Interesting timing on this post. As a northerner living in the deep south, I have found that often I am the only one with jumper cables in my car. [My dad always insisted on emergency supplies in each car, but that is another story.]

Three times in the past month or so I have been part of this scenario. Once it was my car which was dead because I left the lights on. The other times I was the live bait. The second time, there was a “car pro” who managed the whole cable thing — I admit that i am not a pro at it. After reading the Car Guys’ instructions, I think I will print those out, laminate them, and read my car manual again.

Thanks, and I really do like Justin’s idea!

If the library bought one, we could put a barcode on it and circulate it like any item – that way, a patron in need could check it out and use it when they needed it. Thanks.

If they want the battery jumper, they have to sign a liability waiver before they can have it. So, to answer your question about a “formal jump start policy”: we have one! 🙂
