Adventures at the Library

~Patron breaks window in his own car, because he locked his keys in it. He said he couldn't afford a locksmith, so he breaks a window instead. :-(

~Patron loses his wallet; comes to the circulation desk and tells the clerk to give his wallet back. That ended up with the police coming to "take me away, ha ha". Right after they leave another patron comes to the reference desk and says, "I found this wallet back there by a computer." (!!!) Another day, he comes back and tries busting into the staff door in the back. He's now spending time behind closed doors, - with bars!

~Walmart customers come here next....

~Roofers have been working on replacing the metal roof. They were supposed to be done by the end of last month/year. They're not.

~We made a Christmas tree out of discarded books, wrapped in Christmas lights. We sat teddy bears around it, "reading" books. This generated a lot of comments. Maybe I'll find a picture and post it.

I've always said - working at the reference desk is like sitting on the front row of life!
