Kid of about 10 comes up to the circulation desk.
Kid: "um...yeah...this is kind of a strange question since you're a library and all. But, uh, where is your death section"
Me: (baffled) "Excuse me?"
Kid: "Yeah. You know, books on death."
Me: (trying to understand) "Are we talking fiction or non-fiction?"
Kid: "I dunno."
Me: "Are you looking for CSI-type stuff or like a scary story?"
Kid: "It's for a class assignment. I have to bring in a book about death. So where's the section?"
Me: "Um...well, there's a horror section."
Kid: "Is that about death?"
Me: "I'm sure that death's an element."
Kid: "Okay, as long as there's death in it."
Me: (Points him in the direction of the YA horror section)
Kid: "Thanks. You ought to put in a death section though"
Me: "I'll bring it up"
