She just looked at me without an ounce of comprehension. I added, trying to provide a clue, &quot;you know, the ORANGE color.&quot; No, she hadn&#39;t a clue. &quot;What&#39;s a gaylord?&quot; she asked. I changed the subject.<br /><br />Does anyone else remember the vivid orange boxes in which all things from Gaylord were stored?

I remember, especially from 1953 to 1959, when I worked at the Enoch Pratt Free Library in Baltimore, that one of several menders would visit the branches where I worked and, on a set schedule, spend a day or part of it, mending books that we had set aside. I always thought it would be a fun job -- and would not be hard on ones feet, as children&#39;s librarianship (my specialty) was. On the other hand, it was probably lonely but perhaps a good job for people (always women, in my experience) who wanted to serve people without dealing with them -- and there are people who like that combination!<br />Now, as a user primarily of the Chicago Public Library, I note that someone writes in a book, &quot;Missing pages 153-159,&quot; or some such, and the user is warned that stuff is not there, but no effort appears to be made to mend what is there. I do glue text blocks back in place if needed, glue in loose signatures, etc., but I have a feeling that no one appreciates that. On the other hand, I also think people appear to be easier on books than they were when I was a young librarian in the 1950s and later.<br />Peggy Sullivannoreply@blogger.com
