From a patron's missing wetsuit to the scent of crab cakes wafting through the stacks, Sheridan showcases the oddities that have come across her circulation desk: encounters with local eccentrics; bizarre reference requests; and heart-warming stories of patrons who roam the stacks every day.
Ok, I thought this collection of anecdotes from librarians was hilarious. Hilarious enough that I laughed out loud several times and tortured MT with more than a few of them.
I know a few readers thought some were having fun at someone else's expense, but honestly I didn't really pick up on that. The one chapter devoted to a single, named, person was included with that person's full knowledge and blessing, so I was ok with it (if she was, why not me?). That might say more about me than the book though, so ymmv.
It's a small little book, but it packs a lot of chuckles.
