Checked on my magnetic library box

While I was at my neighborhood library, I decided to check on my LB that I hid underneath a bottom shelf. Everything was in place with several new stamp ins. As I read the comments in my tiny logbook I came to a page with a little sticker, instead of a stamp. On the page, under the sticker, was written, " Enjoy reading", and signed " from your library". The page was dated with a library date stamp. I just about fell over !! Someone at the library must have read my clues or got the clues from someone because in my clues, I mentioned that I considered this MY library because I had been coming there ever since it had been built. Well, I guess you could say my letterbox is legal now!

I'm glad whoever found it, joined in on the fun and replaced it back under the shelf.

Cool story! So glad they did not remove it, but "joined in the fun." Keep reading!

I have been a library fan since I was about three -- who believes there is a place where they give you books for free!?!

Quote On the page, under the sticker, was written, " Enjoy reading", and signed " from your library".


When checking a cemetery letterbox, I also found a library stamp and the name of the local library. Plus, the person had a sense of humor because they wrote "Everyone in this cemetery has CHECKED OUT." ("Checked out" was stamped with a rubber stamp). They didn't post their find so I don't know who they are.

Glad you found a magnetic hide-a-key!

On the page, under the sticker, was written, " Enjoy reading", and signed " from your library". The page was dated with a library date stamp.

I was thinking that the librarian may have just found it while reshelving or dusting the shelves.
