Why are librarians so mean??? they are seriously rude...?

Question

I love the library because there are so many books and things to learn. However, the librarians alway ruin it for me. I only ask for help when I seriously can not find the book I need. I do know how to use the search engine and I do know how use the net.. I am not stupid.. just help me out!!!

Answer 1

The librarians are rude in my town, too, and have been for as long as I can remember. I have interacted with some who were nice there and other places, so I wouldn't generalize that they are all mean, but they sure can be if you get on their bad side!
I'm guessing it's because they're trained in library sciences, with not so much emphasis on public relations, and little, if any, on education. They're really not there to teach. A lot of them probably regard patrons as an annoyance, just like people in other jobs that have to deal with the public. They're there because they like books, not people.
Don't let them ruin your love of libraries!

Answer 2

Why don't you explain that you love the library but that you don't know how to use it as well as you would like?
If they don't help you at that point, then they are being mean.
But having a friend who is a librarian who gets questions like "do you have any books I can read?" makes you understand that librarians need you to help them to help you.

One other reason some librarians are mean or rude is that getting people to be quiet, to not ruin the books and materials, and to not literally smear feces on the walls has worn them down.

Answer 3

It's all about meeting the right one. As for the problem of women talking to you even though they have boyfriends or husbands, a lot of women just like the attention, and a lot of them probably don't want to hurt your feelings so they may try to ease into telling you they're 'taken'. And obviously some women are just rude. It can be depressing, but maybe you need to switch things up and look in different places. Or maybe youshould stop looking; I say this only because usually when you stop trying so hard they're lined up for you! That's what happened to me, anyway. As soon as I stopped looking and started focusing on me they were coming from all directions! Anyway, you're outlook will totally change when you meet the right person... and you WILL meet the right person. Hang in there and good luck!!

Answer 4

I'm sorry to hear the librarians at you r library are rude.

I absolutely love my librarian. She is SO helpful.

Is there another library near you. Maybe the librarian(s) there won't be so difficult.

Answer 5

I just cant stand rude people. Rude librarians are even more annoying. it makes you wonder how the hell they got a job!

You could tear out pages of the magazine they were reading (when they relucatantly went to find your book) or you could write a complaint to the local council (I'd recommend several letters in different fonts over a period of time) so that they can be dealt with. Unless theyre related to people in council.

usually the case.

Answer 6

I don't know where you live. But in California the librarians are just as rude as where ever you are.

It is not only Librarians. Most bureaucrats have similar complex problems.

Unfortunately nothing much you could do about it.

Answer 9

I'm sorry.
The last librarian I came across was hot. At first she was stiff, I cracked a couple of one liners on her, took her out that night. Damn good time. I was the one telling her to shh! later that evening, I know you dit'n need that info. Still together today, she is still rude-but hot. She is my Rachel Weisz from The Mummy! Hot, Hot, Hot!!!!!

Lack of social life, sense of humor and compassion.
