  Alright everyone,  I have a new library patron to tell you about.  An African woman comes into Northwest from time to time to get books,  and her name is Princess Bempong. nbsp;  Yes that's right,
 the system has her listed as Princess Bempong ( not sure if that's a title or a name,  but either way. nbsp;  She often comes in with her deaf servant who makes extremely loud,  yet indiscernable,
 noises constantly. nbsp;  Sometimes grunts and sometimes groans,  and sometimes just hollering. nbsp;  Here is the usual scenario:
 Princess Bempong will come up to the counter and will make her servant ask for the books ( which of course means just a lot of loud and embarrassing noises) nbsp;  Since no one can discern this fellow's gestures or sounds,  she gets frustrated and signs with him for a minute or two ( while he's still grunting and groaning)
 and then finally writes down what she wants,  and makes him hand it to us. nbsp;  At this point we can usually help them,  since what she writes down is an easy enough request. nbsp;
 But what I don't understand is why Princess Bempong doesn't just tell us what she wants. you see I know that she can speak because I've spoken to her on the phone and in person on more than one occassion!  I guess she just wants to make full use of her servant. who knows.
