What's with jr high librarians? I checked out all sorts of books, but the little sign out card at the back of a full-color astronomy guide to the planets had nobody's signature except mine over and over again. No one had ever checked it out except me. And still she tried to discourage me.
My sister was a library aid after I moved on to high school. She told me the librarian still used me as an example of being narrow-minded. I guess she didn't remember me checking out Quo Vadis, Rise and Fall of the Roman Empire, Ann of Green Gables, and so on.
I actually read almost every book in that library. Spent a lot of time there. It was where detention was held.
