Just after opening we had a patron who inquired whether we'd go fetch the books for him if he supplied us with the call numbers, as the last time he was here he had gotten lost in the stacks and was traumatized by the experience. At first I thought he was just making idle conversation, but once I assured him he'd be all right and sent him on his way I noticed he kept asking the same question at the entrance to the stacks, and again here at the Circ Desk with one of my colleagues.
I think the guy was seriously freaked out! Granted, the Widener stacks are huge, but it's not like we have a Minotaur roaming the halls picking off the hapless or confused...
(A library Minotaur. Hmm. This gives me an idea!)
