Reading is for ...............


For some reason or another, people like to leave notes in libraries. Perhaps the person who leaves the note hopes that someone who comes in afterwards will find the note and have their life magically transformed. It could happen. In the past, here at RPL, we have had patrons leave notes on a variety of subjects, some serious, others not so much. Here is one note that was recently left at a library in Arizona. A simple note really, but one can psychoanalyze it for days. Why the happy face? Did they misspell "losers" on purpose, just to be silly and/or ironic? Why the fancy upper case L? Does the subject really get them so agitated that they have to use an exclamation mark? Oh well, I am just happy that someone finally broke it to me that I am a looser.
