- Found in Books
I’ve found money, bank passbook, a cash cheque, wedding photo, and other sentimental stuff in the books that are returned to us. The people most likely used those items as a bookmark, but forgot about removing it before returning the books. But I guess the one that beat all that in the article was the strip of bacon that was used as a bookmark. Quite an interesting read to see what some people keep in their books or use as bookmarks.

- Reading Circle Books
I sorta of stumbled onto this site. Reading Circle Books is “a place for people who like to read & learn together with fellow-readers of all ages. Readers may often read in solitude, but ideas and expressions, like books and people, are formed in relationship and live by interaction.” Definitely a blog to take note of.

Aw, shucks! Thanks, Isaak, for the link and for your kind words.
If you or any of your library patrons would like to join me for a blog-through-the-book reading circle on Timothy Tyson’s Blood Done Sign My Name (starting around August 15th, more or less), I’d be delighted to see you there!
@CircleReader: Will definitely have a look. Not too sure about our library patrons. But I’ll try to get my colleagues to visit your website and the book event.
