Okay this is just too good not to share with the rest of the world. One of the first projects that I worked on here at my library was developing and deploying an Intranet. As part of our intranet, each department has a blog. These blogs have been up for about six weeks now and one department has already written 45 posts! Things are growing much faster than I had hoped and the acceptance is growing at a reasonable rate.
With our internal blogs, we have been very careful to not limit what people can post, so you never know what you will get, which keeps things fun. With that being said here is a post from a couple of days ago that is worth sharing.

The Monkey Ate My Library Card
You may have thought you have heard it all, but I am willing to bet that you have never heard someone say, “Can I get a new library card? A monkey ate it.” I paused for a moment and thought, she has to be messing with me…I’ll go along with it. So, I said, “What kind of monkey was it?” She rattled off the formal name for a Peruvian monkey and she was completely serious. At this point I had to get more information, “How did a monkey manage to eat your library card?” She had worked in Peru for a while (doing what I don’t know…something with monkeys). She had her keys with her library card on them in her cargo pocket of her skirt and the monkey snagged them and promptly started eating them. Even today, three days later a smile comes to my face when I think about the library card eating monkey.
