Patron of the Week
Some patrons you can just tell are going to be crazy. Clemens, a homeless man in drag who came into the library this week, saved me from guessing and told me right when he walked in: "My name's Clemens. I'm crazy and want to use a computer." To seal the deal, he extended his hand to shake.
If I'd been anywhere but the library, I would have shaken his hand and wondered what exactly he meant by "I'm crazy." At the library, however, saying you're crazy simply means you belong. What I couldn't, however, shake from my mind as I shook his hand was how exactly a homeless man in drag got the name Clemens.
