Present Joys

“We thank the Lord of heaven and earth
who hath preserved us from our birth
for present joys, for blessings past,
and for the hope of heaven at last.”

Tag libraries

libraries really are truly amazing places where ridiculous things happen routinely

- a lady brought a samurai sword in and we told her she could not do that and she sheathed it in a coleman camping chair-type bag and we kept it behind the desk until she left

- a man came in with a huge box of pizza (not a pizza box but a couple dozen individually ziplocked bags of slices of pizza in a big cardboard box) and asked us to keep it safe for him until he was ready to leave

- this (done by a man who licked the books and only mumbled)

- one time i stayed after my shift to watch a book discussion of abraham lincoln, vampire hunter and one of the elderly ladies thought it was real and that the president murdered vampires and thought it was just awful

Valerie tells good stories.
