“Oh, that was his posse.”

A teen-aged boy came into the library looking for books. Around the same time three other teen boys decided to hover near the circulation line. At first the other clerk and I thought that they were waiting in line, but they weren’t. A fact that came particularly obvious when they started taking pictures with their camera phones.

Later the first teen boy left with his books and the other teens followed him out. It all made sense.

Miss Print: “Oh, they were hovering because they were his posse.”

Branch Librarian: “His posse, huh?”

Then she started laughing. I can’t imagine why though . . .
