You never know what you might find in a library book

A Fun Little Story from The Commercial News in Illinois on the lost and found bin at The Danville Public Library.

Years ago, when it had a curbside book drop along Vermilion Street, the head librarian found a live duck.

There haven\’t been any ducks lately, but quite a few family snapshots, letters and other things have been left behind by library patrons.


They have found jewelry, tax forms and other documents, eyeglasses, keys, key chains, toys, notebooks and of course someone had used a raw bacon strip as a book mark.

\”Way back when I was the children\’s librarian, someone left a (candy) sucker in a book,\” Nolan said. \”It was not wrapped. It was pretty glued to the inside of the book.\”
