My FAVORITE THING at the FRIENDS OF THE LIBRARY STORE!

Stopped by the FRIENDS OF THE LIBRARY STORE at the library to purchase a couple of books that were half off. Thought I might share my FAVORITE THING in the store...it's NOT A BOOK! Enjoy...BRIAN.

I shouldn't buy...but I do sometimes...and half off!

@@brian_medlock_collage sane for me! My old library always had all magazines for free - fabulous!

I should have added on my last comment - I have saved many notes that were left in children’s books in our library - adorable! One of my favorites was a note a child - likely an upper elementary age kiddo wrote: I could write a better POME if I had a better pencil!!!! Hahhahaha And I would not mention ALL of the items here that were returned in non-children’s materials …from the gross (a strip of raw bacon!) to a divorce decree to let me say …. photos of a highly personal nature ! LOL! People usually think of a library as such a quiet, mundane place. As a librarian for 23 years ….it was anything but!! HAHA! Thanks again! 📚 Kathleen
