While we are on the subject of amusing stories, did everyone see the
story about the library book that was returned to a library in New
Zealand 61 years late?

Subject: Funny article in the Times / Stressed librarians! - again
(sorry)
Re the topic of librarians stressed by boredom aired several weeks ago,
there are two contributions in the latest CILIP Gazette of 10th
February, page 3 - "Speaking out against typecasting" by Wendy Siemaszko
(Peckham Library , Southwark) and "Working in a library - boring?" by
Susan Baillie (INFOmatch).
To me this looks like preaching to the converted, but decide for
yourself.

The Master said, "Look at the means a man employs,
observe the basis on which he acts,
and discover where it is that he feels at ease.
Where can he hide? Where can he hide?"
