R Sure do you have a library card and know your pin number?
Q I have a library card but I do not have a pin number
R Let me see your library card and you can select a pin number now.
Q Here you go.
R Is your address on Whatever Street?
Q No it is on ILiveSomewhereElse Drive.
R OK, what is you phone number?
Q 123-456-7890
R That is not the number on this card.
Q Well, that is actually my mother's library card.
R I can't give you the pin number to someone elses library card.
Q But it is my mother's library card.
R Actually there is a note in the record that says she does not want a pin number.
Q That is OK, she will let me select her pin number.
R Well, we can call your mother and she can select a pin number and then tell you what it is.
Q Hello Mami, (much conversation in some foreign lanquage I am not familiar with.) She says it is OK.
R I am going to need to speak with her.
Q She does not speak english.
R (heavy sigh) Okay, what does she want her pin number to be?
Q (More conversation in this laguage I still don't know) One...Nine...Seven...Five.
R One...Nine...Seven...Five.
Q Bye Mami.
R OK, you are all set. As soon as there is a free computer you can log in.
Observation: She was probably talking to her boyfriend at the Stop and Go payphone, hopefully her mother will not find out.
