Interview with the Librarian
Susan McMiller grilled by Student Greg Sanderson in the EMU Library foyer.
GS:  If you were a twee, what twee would you be?
SM:  Isn't this about books, or something?
GS:  Ah, dodging the question, huh?  I've seen your type.
SM:  I like reading.
GS:  You do, do you?
SM:  Yes.  I do.
GS:  Well, now for my next question.  How long have you been the head librarian here at EMU?
SM:  Since my mother Helena, the former head librarian, died in a tragic accident.
GS:  Yes, indeed.  This question comes from Officer Suez.  Is it true that it has been your lifelong goal to become the head librarian at EMU?
SM:  Yes.  I love books and reading.
GS:  Hmm.  This one comes from Agent Cavazos.  Where were you on the night of April 4, 2005?
SM:  Doctor Cavazos?
GS:  ..No.  Agent Cavazos.
SM:  Oh.
(Pause; for time purposes, we'll skip ahead)
GS:  What is your relationship with the Reading Department?
SM:  What do you mean?  Richard & I have had our problems, but we've worked through them.
GS:  No, I meant does the library & the Reading Department work together at all?
SM:  Oh, yeah.  We have book rallies.  And they rent from us.
GS:  What about Dr. Marsha and the Writing Department?
SM:  What are you implying?
GS:  Hey you you.  I ask, you answer.  You. So can we expect another Progressive Library Convention at EMU next year?
SM:  No, not after the 'incident.'
