I'm about 1/3 of the way through 1Q84 by Haruki Murakami, which weighs in at a whopping 925 pages (so good so far!!). Now, I'm a frequent NYPL book borrower, and it's not uncommon from time to time to a errant bookmark accidentally left behind. But I've never found quite so many items or quite the variety of item in a library book before. Every 50 pages or so, I've found something random or unexpected. So far, I've found:
- a pressed yellow leaf
- part of someone's bank statement (complete with account number...which I promptly shredded...you're welcome).
- a heart shaped pink sticky note
- 1/4 sheet of scrap paper with a meeting agenda on the back
- a receipt from the Central Park Zoo with a grocery list on the back
What's the strangest/coolest/most random thing you've ever found in a library book?
