Thanks For Reading The Signs

The other day I saw Miss Norma, our Children's Librarian, standing with a little girl of about eight or nine in the long, white hallway between the main library and the genealogy library. They were pointing at and talking about the wall signs.
Later, when I saw Miss Norma again, I asked her about the little girl's interest in the signs. She said the little girl had come to her and asked if we were serving ice cream in the library.
Miss Norma told her no, but said if we were, she wanted some too! She asked the little girl what made her think we were serving ice cream, and the girl said it was on a sign in the hallway. She took Miss Norma to look at the sign.
The specific sign is one of the "Little Known Holidays" wall display. The sign says that July 20th, the third Sunday of July, was designated by President Reagan in 1984 as Ice Cream Day. The sign has a picture of a large cone of pink ice cream on it. So, the little girl thought we were serving ice cream.
Miss Norma said that's not the only time someone has thought we were serving food.
A little boy saw the sign on the main entrance door showing a frog eating a piece of pizza. The sign said, "No food or drink in the library," but the child thought we were serving pizza.
We're glad people are looking at our signs. Most people are reading them. But I guess we need to do a better job of getting our messages across.
Now, if we could just find a way to do that about the cell phones in the library!
