The boss is away at the KLA conference this week, but that didn't stop her from leaving behind a few surprises for the rest of us! A creepy broom that turns itself on and scares you as you are shelving books. Hairy fake rats (that look suspiciously like small R.O.U.S. from the Princess Bride) strategically placed in the circulation desk drawers to surprise us when we open them. Oh my! It's been a jumpy week over here at the library!
