If only more patrons were like this...

I was helping an woman (maybe in her mid-30s) this evening on an undergraduate research paper. She was writing on Haiti and needed assistance in locating articles on immigration and assimilation. I showed her some of our databases, and found her two good articles. She had some other questions about MLA and citation, so I spent some time with her showing her how to make a bibliography.

At the end of the interaction, she turned to me and said, "You know, it's amazing what you can learn in books."
