Books, Books

Mischievous books. When everyone is done and gone, you move around without a sound, wreaking havoc on those who work. Tumbling down, down, down to where you know you don’t belong, and settling down until the hours start. Someone will move you, or read you, or even put you in your place, but when everyone is done and gone, you will move around without a sound, just when your hours start.

--by Jeff Cline, Student Library Assistant
