The sudden ringing of the bell on Alice’s desk quickly diverted her eyes from her book and back into the harsh reality of her life. After she composed herself from the slight shock of someone actually visiting the library and forcing her to do her job this evening, she looked up at the patron and put on her customer-service-smile. “Hi! Are you looking to return, check-out, or do you need help finding something?”
“I was wondering if you could help me find a cookbook! It’s called The Bread Bible. I couldn’t find it, but I may just be looking right past it.”
