The library system I work for has 30 libraries. The building I am in used to have the director's office and business office. Much like J. Bruce Ismay abandoning the Titanic, leaving us behind, the director moved to a new location where she doesn't have to deal with the disintegration of the library.
People are always writing to the director. Mostly I think because they think she is the best librarian, therefore the best librarian should care enough to answer their questions. I think the last time the director did any reference work was when Clinton was Pres. So the secretaries in the director's office send the mail that looks like reference to us.
I wish the cows would bother to throw away the crazy letter.
I don't mind if the crazy letter had a question in the body. But they sent last week a crazy letter that has nothing that makes any of us think it's a reference question.
One side had a photocopy of Barbara Jordon (a really bad copy; at first I thought it was picture of Harriet Tubman) and the man wrote on top (but it's a photocopy) Our goddess, Barbara Jordon, who art in Heaven.
The other side was a photocopy. On top, typed was "a drum major for justice" in all caps, from one side to the other. Underneath that, on the left side is a pic of MLK jr, and a photocopy of our city's seal next to it. Then underneath that is a name and address os some professor, curator of Public Archives MOTAPA Museum.
To the right hand side of the page is a photocopy of canceled stamps of MLK jr. The cancellation says "Atlanta GA Jan 13 1979 30304".
between all that the lunatic started to write "Dr. **** ********* Director of Staff YPPY
" Actually, the smiley face he drew looks like 3 circles above a banana. Undeneath that he had photocopies the name of our mayor from some stationary. Underneath that it says "One Love" and underneath that it says "(name of our city) Metroploitan Research Center Thanks Sincerley smiles n daily love and honor the Alke motapa collection." Now part of this is written around a photocopy of "City of (name of our city) Public Document" which obviously came from our stationary. There are 3 photocopies of our city's seal, all of differnt sizes around this part of the letter.
Underneath that, it says (hand written until the drum major part, but again this is all photocopy):
(I guess name of crazy person)
Coordinator of Staff

Oh, and a pic on the left bottom of MLK Jr and on the right some pic of I guess a rocket but surrounding it is "Anniversary March Wash. Jobs Peace Freedom." Wait, I think that is a pic of the Washington Monument.
Why couldn't those cows just have tossed this? I hope no one asks us "oh, did you receive that letter from our patron? I hope you responded."
No one sent the envelope, and since it was addressed to the Metropolitan Research Center, coudln't those cows mailed it to that dept?

He is my Black Dragon (and yes, a good one) strong, protective, the guardian. I am his Silver Dragon, always by his side, shining for him, cherishing him.
