Losing It then Finding It!

429013657_924291532721587_2318546135669561465_nWas down here on campus today for a quick visit to the library. Last time I returned four books, but the receipt only noted the titles of three, the fourth was listed as unknown. I emailed the library and noted I had returned four books, explaining the failure of the system to list the fourth one.
 
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).
