| 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.' (Interview was interrupted by routine fire drills in the library) |
