Bookmarks share readers’ tales

“Chandler library aide Marj Pals sees a lot more than words between the pages of returned library books.”

“Fancy bookmarks, love letters, lottery tickets – even the results of a pregnancy test from a doctor – have been left as place markers, she said.”

“The most colorful ones fill a wall behind her work area at the Sunset Branch Library, 4930 W. Ray Road, where she and other library workers have been collecting the items for about two years.”

“When logging returned books, Pals dons black cotton gloves as protection from paper cuts and some of the unusual things she regularly finds between the pages.” (from The Arizona Republic)
