Library Comic is a webcomic about life in and around a library, created by Gene Ambaum, Willow Payne, Pat Coleman, and Chris Hallbeck. It focuses on the small, strange, and sometimes funny moments that come with working in public service.
With simple drawings and thoughtful writing, the comic captures the quirks of library work, from odd customer requests to behind-the-scenes staff conversations. The series finds humor in the everyday, making it easy for readers, especially library workers, to nod and say, “That’s exactly how it is.”

Good alternative fashion characters in fiction! I thought it impossible! And showing how everyone that doesn't know us thinks we're like in the last panel.

They are just looking for someone to argue with them. Just stare at them and smile. It drives them nuts!

Depending on what book it is I might respond with "I agree, but it's not my decision what we do or don't sell here, sorry."

Crunchy! When I had to replace my stolen passport in Paris one of the questions was "Creamy or Crunchy" It was only one of the test questions but it did require street level knowledge of American society

Dude, it's not about intelligence, it's about which sources you grew up with and believe.

No, sorry. I'm not grabbing someone else's personal property off of them after they decline my assistance.

The "single" part doesn't even matter, just don't doubt the strength of a parent either way (especially if we're talking about the parent of a kid with special needs like my autistic twin brother).

Ok, whether you think illegal immigration is a problem or not (and I will not voice my opinion one way or the other on this website) getting accusatory like that based on someone's appearance is just RUDE.

Oh, I took it as him asking her heritage, like of Korean heritage or something like that, I mean she is working in a public library, she literally cannot be an illegal alien

It got something gross on it, so it was covered up with a spray that smells like linen and lavender

Its a sausage, also called "Polish sausage". So technically, yes, but also a common undersyood amd used word in English, like ramen or wonton.

I had a mom come up to me with 50 Shades Of Grey (if you don't know it, Google it). Her 10 yr old daughter wanted to read it. Mom asked me if it was "appropriate." I told Mom to open it to any page and read any paragraph. Mom turned about 50 shades of red and told her kid "You aren't reading this til you're 90!" Lol

Until the next librarian who works at the desk gets that patron and there's one of those "well, the other librarian does it!"

Nono, that's why she was honest about it being against the rules.

No librarian worth her salt would say that to a patron unless the book was literally gross (like dripping wet or sticky or something).

My advice: don't try to win an argument with an HOA member, they're almost all Karens

Yeah, it sounds funny, but I've known patrons who are just as likely to grab the scissors and try to stab someone with them.

You'll find them under K, for Kathleen Keating. She made a couple of books filled with drawings of cartoon bears hugging in every position possible, with a name for every hug and an explanation of which situations this hug is especially useful for (for instance the hug in the attachment picture is an A-style hug, good for saying 'Congratulations!' to people you don't know very well, or 'I know you dressed up for this party and appreciate a hug that won't wrinkle your dress'). The drawings are incredibly cute. 1395259-68...463a06.jpg

I surprised two 13-14 yr old boys have a good giggle over The Joys of S*x a few years ago. I told them I was going to come by again in about five minutes and they should either have put the book back or checked it out and taken it with them.

Well now I'm judging you for getting so offended by a T-shirt that doesn't even have any swear words on it.

So, a book with no conflict just some minor misunderstandings? Or some utopia?
