Asking for the impossible:-
A library user at Chelmsford asked, “Where are your photographs of
dinosaurs. All you have are artists impressions”
An adult asked, “Why hasn’t your library got any books about dinosaurs.
I’ve looked all through the pets section and can’t find any.”
A child asked a librarian in Vidalia Toombs public library, GA, “Have you
got an actual photograph, not a artist’s drawing, of the meteor hitting the
earth and killing the dinosaurs?”
A mother and child were very upset when they could not locate a photograph
of George Washington in Philadelphia public library. The mother asked the
librarian, “Why hasn’t the library got any photographs of George
Washington?”
The legendary question from Memphis, TN went to the senior reference
librarian who had the question, “How much sand should I put in my birdbath
so that short-legged birds don’t drown?” Illustration bird-bath with sand
and bird
A reporter at the BBC asked the library for, “Television archive film of
the Titanic arriving in New York Harbour.”
