Overheard in the Library Part 2

Apparently, we have a woman with a second grader visiting libraries and trying to squeak out as many summer reading prizes as she can from the library. Now, one needs to know the grand prize for finishing the summer reading club is a cheap mini flashlight. Here's the story:

FYI. A patron has been to the Crofton and West County branches trying to get staff to give her additional SRC(summer reading club) prizes. Here at WCO she has approached 5 staff members asking us to award her the SRC prize for her son who is in the 2nd grade.

She showed staff two log books that were already stamped for all the weeks of SRC, claiming that she never got the prize since her son was not with her when the log books were stamped. Therefore she is trying to obtain the prizes now that her son is with her. However, one staff member clearly remembers giving her the prizes on a previous occasion. When I spoke to her this afternoon, the reason she gave me is that she may have misplaced the prizes. Tonight, when I spoke to her again, she claims that it was her twin sister I spoke to earlier (she also made it a point to change her clothes when she and her son came back to the branch this evening).

Have to say, I might give them to her just because of creativity.

Also, just in, a gentlemen was told at the library that he has 10 missing music CD's and needs to pay for them. He told the staff that the man who was supposed to return them was killed at McDonalds. That probably wouldn't happen at Burger King.

And the sit down man has been back this week..he has no power. And apparently a tooth ache. He wanted to know the name of my dentist. I wouldn't share..could not do that to my dentist.
