We all know that library people are awesome – working to serve our communities and to help our patrons! But this story, about a school librarian who went above and beyond to help a patron to clear her name and to escape grounding by her mom, is an inspiration to us all!
Have you had a good patron experience lately? Tell us about it in the comments, or send it to us at CMLE Headquarters – we love to hear about our members and their successes!!
From Huffington Post:
“On Tuesday, a New York-based school librarian named Jennifer Iacopelli put on her detective cap after a crying student approached her for help.
According to a series of increasingly Sherlock-esque tweets, she is apparently a master of both the Dewey Decimal System and sleuthing.
…The student insisted that the inappropriate additions to her paper, which she’d been working on using Google Docs, were not her own. Intrigued by the alleged hacking, Iacopelli went on the hunt to figure out how the paper ended up in this condition.”
