12/30: a very helpful library aide

...at the county public library.  She directed me to a section I couldn't find and then helped me locate my books.  They were Dungeons & Dragons manuals that I had used in a conference paper, and I needed to get the page numbers of the illustrations I referred to.  But she didn't know that--she just knew I was looking at D&D stuff, so she made sure I knew that, although the manuals couldn't be checked out of the library, she'd be happy to help me make copies so I could be sure to leave with the information I needed.  Very nice of her to be thinking of the needs of D&D players, even if I wasn't one!
