Young Love

"Romeo, Romeo, where for art thou, Romeo?" At yon library, "studying" with Juliet- they study a lot at the library. I'm sure mom and dad are thrilled they have taken up such an interest in books. What an exceptionally studious young man and to think we misjudged him so!

The two young lovers can't seem to stay away from the Adult Fiction section (technically they should be in Adult Nonfiction 822.33 shakespe). But apparently, they haven't yet read the play or they'd get out now before it was too late. Maybe it's a simple misunderstanding of the term "Adult".

We get occasional complaints from other patrons made uncomfortable by the couple's magnetic hips and lips. I take the "louder is better approach" and make like an elephant before approaching the balcony. Sometimes I am rewarded with a pause in activities. Other coworkers have tried: being direct, shame, supervision, or the "ignore it and it will go away (in 9 months)" approach. I can't say which is better but what I can say is- be suspicious when your youngster shows a sudden and inexplicable interest in the library. Perhaps, come browse the Adult Fiction section occasionally, unannounced.
