People leave a lot of weird things in books before returning the to the library. They also leave some interesting things. A librarian in Oakland has gathered a collection of such items to create the “Found In A Library” project. I looked through the collection online. There’s some interesting stuff like a picture of a woman getting her teeth cleaned at the dentist. There’s a note that says ‘Sweat Dreams my love bug”. There’s a Stonewall Jackson trading card. Yeah, that one took me by surprise. Sharon McKellar, the librarian who put this together says one guy saw a love note and thought it was his parent’s handwriting. It turned out to be a note they had passed in the 1980s.
