Old Books And All That Stuff
I was in our school's (huge) library searching for old books. In our school library, each book has a 'due date'piece of paper stuck onto it, so you can see when the last due date for the book was and how many times it was borrowed, and when (one Gernonimo Stilton book had like 3 pages and a 100 due dates! It had been borrowed 100 times! And......the first time it had been borrowed was 2007 only! That means it's borrowed like once every week or something.
Anyway, we were looking for OLD books. Our school campus was established in 2003, so we were looking for books from the 03-4 period. I picked up a dusty looking children's picture book (it had some very long name that I could not remember). It had only been borrowed 2 times. Once in 2008, and the other in.....
1989!
Meaning it had been lying in our library for almost 20 years! Since our campus was built in 2003, I assume that the book was transferred from some older campus.
I also found a book called Linger, which was only borrowed once in 1994. My friend claims that he saw some librarians moving away some old/torn books. He found one which was last borrowed in 1982!
Its not mine, but I can't help it. The pic is too perfect
