With the rise of various social software and new media platforms on mobile phones, fewer and fewer people read books. Libraries in various universities are thinking of various ways to attract students to study in the library. The library of North Central College in Illinois, USA, has welcomed a new librarian. This new employee is petite, athletic, and covered in hair. This employee named Lucy is a cute tabby cat.
Tabby cat Lucy is the most popular employee in the North Central College library. Don't think that this is just a false title, it requires work! There is also a row for it in the attendance record sheet in the staff office. If it runs out during the attendance check time, the staff responsible for attendance will give it a sign that it is out of work. Let students no longer have to worry about finding this passive librarian in the library.
According to Lucy’s colleagues, Lucy is not a diligent employee. She will sometimes be lazy and not go to work, or pretend to be out in the field, but actually go find something to eat secretly. In spring and autumn, its attendance rate will increase. In the hot summer and cold winter, it will hide in air-conditioned places and will never stay quietly in the office.
Lucy's daily work includes patrolling the library, catching mice, answering questions for students, and serving as the library's external image ambassador. As a tabby cat, Lucy is perfectly qualified for these tasks. This cat keeper is extremely popular among students, attracting a large number of students to the library. As the flow of people in the library increases, the number of people reading or borrowing books in the library also increases. The success of such work is an important factor for Lucy to become a librarian.
Library staff have opened an Instagram account for Lucy since April last year, and it currently has nearly 4,000 followers. It was even selected by the American media as No. 7 among the "13 Instagrams that library lovers must follow". If you want to know the daily life of a librarian, you can follow Lucy's Instagram, because Lucy will share her and her colleagues' daily life with friends there.
Nowadays, more and more organizations regard a cute pet as their employee. However, here I am going to complain to these cute pet employees! Because the salary is really too low! A month’s food expenses don’t even meet the minimum wage! Strongly request to add small dried fish to them! After all, these pet employees have to work hard and sell their looks. I wonder if you would agree to allow these cat-using units to add small dried fish to their cat employees?
