the library on halloween

Friends, the library on Halloween is lonely. I went in to return an overdue movie (you know that is expensive) and pick up a book on hold. I can't leave the library without perusing so it came to me, I'll read the new McCall-Smith book. So I hunt down the series (without reading the blurb on it) and go to check-out. Well, it wouldn't let me check this book out because it wasn't 'in'. So I go to the desk and tell my story. She scans it and says, 'Oh this book is missing.' Ha, it was right there, not missing at all. She says I'm the Halloween hero and we laugh because this same thing has happened to us. So, I head to What-a-Burger for dinner (I was too busy at the trunk-or-treat to eat chili) and had a long wait. If the library is slow, What-a-Burger is slower! Here I pilfer through my stacks of books and look at the McCall-Smith book. Lo and Behold, I have read this book already. I'm not surprised by that. I'm surprised that I got home with it. If I had read the cover at all, I would have put it back on the shelf. But as a true Halloween Hero I was able to listen to some small voice that said, 'You must get this book,' and saved someone from having to buy a book for the Litchfield Park Library. Props to me and 'your welcome' to whoever you are!
