Library Chuckles at WCLS

PictureIf you haven't been reading the Funny Stories blog at the Whatcom County Library System, you should be! It's great fun!

WCLS has been encouraging its staff, public, and patrons to contribute amusing library stories. Topics include chickens in the library, those pesky . . . (fill in the blank: husbands, janitors, genealogists, etc.), dirty books at the library, wolves, snakes, fossils, and many more entertaining and endearing stories, often illustrated with wonderful photos like the one at the right, which really ought to be made into one of those ALA Reads posters.

The library promised to use the "best and brightest" to create a pocket-sized booklet for National Library Week.

Here's one of my favorites: how about the young lady on the bookmobile, who checks out books on tape - lots of books on tape. She smiled when she mentioned that her brother calls her a bookworm.

"I don't think so," she said, "I prefer to be called a tapeworm!"

And what has to be the all time best effort thus far, this You-Tube doo-wap video "At the Library" made by the Stumpf Family Singers. Enjoy!
