Today I have learned


· That we don't have cardboard recycling bags, only plastic ones

· That people can read Which magazine for a scary amount of time

· That Gregory Peck inspired passion in the hearts of women in To Kill a Mockingbird – one lady said she'd always worried about when he died, because she didn't know what she'd do with herself when he did

Life Story

Asked about microfilm & how far back the Essex Chronicle went, so she could get a photo & her marriage announcement because her husband died recently. Then proceeded to tell me her entire life story and how she refuses to go to doctors and is wary of medical people :S

feet

Customer (looking down): Oh wow, I love your feet, they're so pretty!

Me (thinking she means my sparkly blue flip flops): thank you, they were from Marks & Spencer at the beginning of this summer

Customer: Do you know, I think I'd like to do some sort of exhibition with your feet in – I could just take a photo of them! I always take photos of feet.

Me: riiiight. Is there anything else the library can do for you today?
