Tales From the Library
It’s been another glorious week at the library. Ever since school’s been back in session the chaos has diminished and the craziness has died down a bit.
This, however, doesn’t mean that there aren’t still crazy people coming in every day. Although these interesting people aren’t always fun to deal with, they always make for a good story.
And the #1 Crazy Person at the Library Award goes to….(drum roll, please)….
Book Sale Lady!
(clap, clap, clap, clap!)
Yesterday, it was fifteen minutes before closing time and I went to our book sale area to turn off the light. (There are several patrons who enjoy perusing said book sale until the very last minute and bringing their multitude of books up to the circulation desk for us to count. This is typically followed by them proceeding to count out their dimes, nickels and pennies only to find they don’t have enough money and have to choose some items to part ways with. The process leaves us closing late and not as pleasant as when we first started work. Hence, the early book sale closing.)
I shut off the light and pushed gently ushered the last occupant out letting her know that the book sale was officially closed for the day, but that she was more than welcome to stop back again tomorrow.
Her response? “Ok! My son is on his honeymoon making a baby for me!”
Didn’t see that one coming, huh? Yeah, me neither.
What can you say to that?
This has been another episode of Tales From the Library! Tune in next week for more dastardly deeds and the Library Goddess that has to rescue everyone…

Oh, that line made me laugh out loud! Sometimes, the nutty people are what I miss most about working at the library.
Wow. I’m speechless.
