Conan the Librarian says:
Strangest greeting of the month:  “Why Can’t Johnny Read?” 

Strangest problem: “I want to subscribe to your newsletter but I don’t know how to spell it.”

No, we don’t have a guide to Tokyo’s sewers. 

Or “good books about chopping up people.”

Or illustrated guides to German World War One Helmets

Or an aerial guide to Tokyo in English and Italian!

Questions Of The Month: 
“What does out-of-print mean?” After an explanation, he said, “I know what it meant, I just remembered!”

Do I need a Suica card to enter your store?

“Have you moved? I am calling from your address.”  It turned out she was calling from the third floor of the building next door.  

“Do you catalogue books with ‘The’ in the title by T, or the word after?”
