Tonight I helped a girl, 4th grade or so, track down the second Harry Potter book (Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone). She had tried to find it in the catalog but for some reason was having trouble. I showed here where all of the Harry Potter books could be found on the shelves and, lo and behold, there was the book she was looking for. Huzzah!
A few minutes later I overheard the girl and her mom talking. The girl showed her mother that she had found the book she wanted. Mom, apparently realizing that she had had some trouble, asked in surprise, "How did she find it when you couldn't?"
The girl's reply: "She's a librarian..."
As if it were the most obvious thing in the world. Score one for the librarians!
