The world is full of happy people, but no one ever hears of them. You must fight and make a scandal to get into the papers. No one knows about all the happy people. I am happy myself, and look how perfectly inconspicuous I am.

Somehow from two different bookstores in two different states I have acquired two books that belonged to the same person..
If you're out there John Larrabee, hmu and we can talk about Tom Paine. Also I have your boarding pass from 2014 that you were taking notes on.

Today in the library.....
A little boy checked out a bunch of books. As he was leaving with his parents, his mom proudly said, "You have so many books -- you just love to read!"
In reply, the little boy excitedly yelled, "No, I don't like to read! I only look at them for the pictures!"
His mother didn't really have a response for that, and I couldn't stop laughing at his honesty.

Today in the library.....
A nun walked by our display table with free candy on it and -- laughing -- said, "Get away from me, Satan!"
She took a piece of chocolate on her way out.

Today in the library.....
A patron needed help because she couldn't find the 'I Spy' books for her child and the irony of the situation still resonates with me.
