"Yes, I'm looking for anything that relates to local flora and fauna," Wren asked with a wide smile.
The librarian, clearly uninterested, peered over the rims of her glasses and pointed to a few bookshelves, near the entrance door. "That should do the trick."
The student nodded and offered another smile. "All right, thank you very much."
As she turned away, the corners of her lips fell back into their usual frown. 'Do all librarians hate being asked for help?' The thought annoyed her, and she walked rather briskly over to the section. As she got close, Wren ran her hand over the spine of one of the thicker books, and took notice of how antiquated it was. I guess nobody needs to know plants and animals for creative writing reference. While she didn't hate creative writing, she certainly didn't like it either. Perhaps it was the notion of having to put "your true feelings into your writing", as the professor put it. Wren couldn't wrap her head around that idea. At least taking a little something from these books would make the paper sound professional in some way.
She shifted weight onto one hip and flipped through the large, glossy pages and gazed down at the illustrations with an uninterested expression. 'Staghorn club moss, horsetail fern, western meadowlark...I've never seen any of these things'. While ignoring the small piece of disappointment in herself for not recognizing any of the illustrations she flipped through, she heard a noise from behind.
Slowly, she turned slightly and peaked over shoulder to see a face she didn't recognize in the slightest. "Can I help you," she grinned, a piece of blonde hair falling over her shoulder as she greeted the newcomer.
