[Pam: a quiet, well-traveled library paraprofessional in her late 40s from Colorado who goes on escapades to many museums with her husband on weekends. She recently went to London, Berlin, Scotland, and just returned last week. She is also known as "Madam Librarian" by those of us who are in her fanclub. She reserves books for the illiterate and orders the best materials for the library.]
[Marco: a dark, Italian, and very outwardly quiet lib. parapro who is known for looking slightly intimidating. He speaks English with little to no accent (I first thought he was from Minnesota until I realized that he spoke flawless Neapolitan, and I have yet to meet such a Minnesotan), and typically has his arm hooked up to an IV of espresso from the cafe down the street.]
Location = The travel section of the library, near the WiFi room, where our heroine was hidden whilst reviewing
American Libraries' book review section and listening to Ben Folds.
Pam: Marco, I'm leaving in a few weeks for the holidays, what's your favorite kind of travel guide?
Marco: Pam,
where are going again so soon? I thought you just got back from London!
Pam: Well yes Marco, but these
are the holidays. I'm going to Paris.
Marco: Woohoo! You're going to Pahr-ree? Bring us back the Mona Lisa, mkay? Or maybe some cheese.
