Do Drop In!

I could not resist answering this one because I have a story which I will never forget. It was not scary to me but to someone else. I was laughing so hard I could hardly stand up myself.

Before Moving to Tallahassee and my job at FSU Libraries I worked for 10 years for the Manatee County Library System. For a few of those years I worked at a branch library which has very active Summer Children's Programs every year. Since I love kids I was always involved in some way. Our Branch Library came up with a very popular idea of a Puppet workshop on Friday Mornings before the Library opened. There was always a few minutes between when the workshop ended and the library opened when the children were pretty much on their own while we set things up to open.

One Friday morning I heard a distant scream behind me and turned around to see what was going on. One of the children had crawled into the book drop and stuck his hand up (through) it to see how far he could reach. We rushed out the back door and all we saw were the library books on the ground beside the book drop. No patron could be seen anywhere.
