When you give him the book, he'll probably ask you for similar ones by the same author.
When he's read those, he'll ask for the movie based on the book.
Then he'll want to ask you if you've watched it.
When you tell him it wasn't your favorite, but you did like this other movie, he'll ask for that one instead.
When he's finished with the movie, he'll bring it back and put it in the book drop.
The book drop will remind him that he wanted to learn how to build a small piece of furniture over the summer.
When you get him a book on building furniture, he'll realize he needs music to listen to while he works.
You'll have to show him where the CDs are.
Once he has a big pile of CDs to check out, he'll be so exhausted he'll need to sit down.
You show him to the quiet reading room, where there are soft chairs and pillows.
He'll relax in a chair and might even ask you to read to him.
You'll tell him this is the quiet reading room for a reason.
Sitting in the chair he'll remember he has to write an email to his uncle to wish him a happy birthday.
He'll probably ask to use a computer.
Once he's on the computer, he'll do some research. He'll print some pages, and ask to use a pen and paper.
The pen will remind him that he wanted to sign up for a library program, so he signs up for a book discussion group.
When he comes back to return his CDs another day, he'll bring his friend in with him.
At the circulation desk, he'll see the first book he checked out.
He'll tell his friend that she needs to read this book too, and chances are,
she'll want a library card to go with it.

What fun! Maybe this librarian should be an author!
