Normally I like to use the “Splendid Libraries” category on my blog to showcase a spectacular library. This is a public library in Barton, Vermont certainly has a spectacular problem. Some kids broke in overnight and re-arranged the furniture. At first glance it seems like a harmless prank. The problem is that the kids rearranged the books, too.
As a librarian, I can tell you that this is likely to cost the library days of staff time to get those books back in order. It is tedious, unpleasant work, and patrons can’t find the books they are looking for while it happens.
I feel like one of those grim, joyless librarians, but what were those kids thinking!!
Off my soapbox now…..
