All on the same day...

At my library the computers to the internet went out, so I got more other work done, and the inmate clerks managed to jam the paper shredder again for me to clean out. In the area of touchy subjects a counselor, a Corrections Officer, and the Disciplinary Hearing Officer came into the library (three, I was out numbered!) and they wanted to know what an inmate had been reading. I jumped up on my high horse and told them I couldn't give them that or it would be my job - it was a State law and the software didn't record it after the item was turned it. Then I asked what they needed the book title for... which could have been a better way to have started the discussion. Seems an inmate departing Thursday, had left a picture of his son in the book as a bookmark, and he was disturbed to be moving on without it. So, since the inmate didn't remember the title of the book nor the author we (four of us now) were lookng for an autobiography with a woman on the cover about her live overseas and then back. A paperback and about three hundred pages. So we looked, and it was found! And the picture of the son as a bookmark was still in it. Best teach my clerks how to prepare the books for circ better. But a happy ending. The book's title? Infidel.

In the realm of suddenly there is something to worry about - Chicago is having trouble staying on top of Gangs, guns and violence - feel sorry for the children was covered by ABC News, along with the First Lady's ancestors, among her forefathers was a carpenter that built his life by working hard, around the early 1900s, when Americans didn't have too many Rights, but most seemed to have an opportunity. Back to the Chicago problem, the Gunnies are trying to get those wonderful protective laws against handguns and firearms overturned. And so they should, I am with Vermont myself. Anyway, one of the Rightwing News groups tells me that HR 45? or something like that is the slam those gun toters down regulation that Obama will be using soon. But I remember that he swore to defend and uphold the Constitution of the United States (they didn't read it right then, but they did mention it by name) so I figure there is no danger of his changing his mind and making war on our forefather's desires and designs. Is there? Back to my shoot boss duties, thanks.
