[Publib] Urbanity

[Robert Balliot]

There are gangs and there are gangs.

You know when you're working in an urban library when:

A library business manager tells you could get you knees broken for
accurately
accounting for copy center funds.
 A guy just released comes in with a white tie / black  shirt combo and
complains that the books you
have on organized crime misrepresent him.

 A board member comes in to  tell you could lose your  job, or worse for
providing  access to public records. (and you do!)
