[ILL-L] A Friday "silly" question

[Jacobs, Tom]

We had a bat somehow get in the library. One of our maintenance guys
caught it in a garbage can. At first I heard screams and a commotion and
just thought people were excited to be in the library. :)

We had 2 squirrels come in from a hole in the ceiling above the
fluorescent lights.  The most amusing part was that the library staff
started squealing but the library users pretty much continued what they
were doing as if nothing was going on.  We had to get a professional
animal trapper to get them out.

Andrea's "fun" question reminded me of a silly question: What animals
have come into your ILL department?

In talking with colleagues a few weeking ago, I remembered:

a snake - around someone's wrist
a bird - flew in (happened at two libraries)
dogs - came in through the Library's electric doors
cats - loved the office's southwest corner windows for napping, and the
office was on the second floor
a ferret - in someone's carry bag


I hope everyone has a fine Thanksgiving week and to non-US folks, a
great weekend.
