Email back, last word in courtesy. "Yes you returned four books Rev Dr G. One of them is not our book, though it is discarded from the library of another institution. It is on floor 1 awaiting your collection."
Now, one of the more telling signs I am losing it, may well be when I start returning my own books to the library!
Collected it today and the Librarian on Floor 1 commented, "Don't worry people do this a lot. We get this all the time." So I'm not the only daftie entrusted with a library card! The earlier non-judgmental email, and the reassuring comment – what's not to love about Librarians? Their customer services skills are second nature. Let's hear it for Librarians. (I use the upper case Librarian as an honorific title).
