There’s a Banana in the Book Drop!
Well, at least it isn’t a frog
Life holds plenty of surprises, especially when you work at a public library. Last week, for instance, we found a banana in the book drop. Naturally, I logged onto my favorite librarian Facebook group to share the news.
The first response?
Curious George strikes again!
Then:
We once found a melted banana split in ours.
After which my fellow library workers began posting about the items they’d found over the years in their own book drops:
A full diaper.
A dead rabbit.
An empty wine bottle.
We found underpants in ours yesterday. At least they were clean.
A banana was beginning to sound like a relatively delightful book find. Reports of more discoveries poured in:
A slice of bacon.
A cell phone.
A live lobster.
A laptop.
An ice cream sandwich. Thankfully it was winter, so it hadn’t melted.
A coffee maker. People be crazy.
