[Publib] Could we talk about funny names for patrons?

[Kevin Okelly]

We have an elderly patron who has asked for biographies of people for whom
there's little in the way of source material, such as
Moses, Solomon, & Arthur.

I was also once asked for a book about "Hanukkah and other foreign
Christmas holidays."
