Library Secrets

Girl (standing at the circulation desk about to checkout a book): “Wait, hold on. I want to get another book.”

Me: “OK, sure.”

The girl walks all the way to the back of the library to the “collective biographies” section and then returns with a Gossip Girl book.

Me: “Where did you get that?”

Girl (points to the biography section): “From back there.”

Me: “Why was it back there?”

Girl: “I hid it there so no one else could get it.”

Me: “…”

I then check out the books and smile to the girl as she leaves.

You have to pick your battles, and there was no way I was going to win that one.

    Now that is funny :) I wonder what other books are hidden in the library until they are ready to be checked out. A good question to ask your readers :)

    We run into this a lot. I think it happens all the time in the kiddies’ room. Older kids and adults are a little less likely to hide books (although I have seen a few hide DVDs). Once we found Britney Spears “Crossroads” DVD up in the Westerns. O-kay.
