FOUND
Eng 325: Grammar & Usage
Eng 355: Children's Lit
GS101: Personal Achievement
G A 11 of GS counser [?]
The second one caught my eye, first. "Oh, neat. Someone planning to be a teacher. Or maybe even a librarian!" As I type, I think maybe this student thinks kid lit will be an easy A. I hope it's a good vigorous course, instead.

Change is in the Air
We're re-arranging some staff in my library system -- as a hiring freeze keeps us from replacing folks who have left over the past year and a half -- and I need to pack up my stuff and head to one of the big libraries soon. Yeah, that's right: I moved house in February (learned a new phone number), got new phones at this lib (learned a new phone number), and now I need to move my office (and learn another new number!). Once again, I am becoming friends with copier paper boxes full of things I think I need at the new place. As at home, I am trying to toss unneeded stuff, rather than move it across town. Pictured below, two items I won't move. The 1970s GRE prep book was donated to us. You know, for the collection or book sale. Because patrons always ask for oldest test help book we have. Or - no -- because a professor writing a definitive history of test prep books might shop our book sale!
The gems below (scanner made them washed out - click and they look better) have been on my cubicle wall, to make me smile. The note reports a patron's comments to a circ staff member. I agreed with the patron that the book was too old to be useful in a public library collection and withdrew it. Someone drew the bugs on a bit of scrap paper and left it by a computer. I think I found it the year the summer reading club had the theme "catch the reading bug," but these weren't like any of the official art. They were much more fun.

Lost n Found
The Vampire Librarian has a nice post on Lost and Found, here. Folks have shared found items of interest, but no one seems to know how or why people never come looking for important things like eyeglasses, transcripts, and medical records.
At least Lib L-n-F is less emotional that Camp L-n-F. There's not much worse than a middle-aged mom chewing you out because her daughter left momma's very own childhood G.S. pocketknife at camp.
