annundrielI subbed at the library today and something happened that I didn't think much of until just now, watching NCIS with Abby and McGee talking about a person of interest using several names/aliases/characters.
There was a letter on the desk when I got to the library that basically said, "Do not issue a card to this woman. These are the names she goes by..." There were about four of them. She's from one town, but she borrows from several libraries in the system. She becomes agitated when confronted. And they included a grainy, black and white photo.
The photo actually makes me wonder if the main library she frequents has some sort of crazy security camera thing on/in the desk. Which would be kind of cool. Though it begs the question, "Why would they need that?"
It's just a little odd, the whole thing. But I'm stuck on the woman with several aliases in order to mess with the library system.
Also, I totally saved a kid's life today!
Well, okay, not really. A boy, early teens, brought in this little boy, approximately two and a half, and said, "I found this little boy crossing the street down by the park. He said his mom was this way."
The little boy was sniffly and cold looking (itwas still is horrible weather today) and sad and not wearing any shoes, though he was carrying them. He wouldn't say anything, but by then there were a bunch of people around him and I think he was freaked out. So I called the florist/grocery store and Mom got on the intercom.
Turned out the kid was one of Mom's boss-lady's grandkids. I thought he'd looked vaguely familiar. He'd been down at the park with his brothers/cousins and then wandered back toward the store. So everything was fine and I did not have to call the sheriff.
NCIS note: Ducky and Palmer! I love them. Also, McGee's hair. I want to ruffle it.

Date: 2009-04-01 07:47 am (UTC)Well, the older kids are, okay, still in elementary school. But Royal only has one main street (no stop lights. anywhere.) and the park is...maybe the equivalent of a block? Probably slightly less that...from the grocery store, which is just across the parking lot from the library. So the mom popped over to the library and then popped down to the park and I saw her leading them all back.
I did hear from my mom later that the older kids got a bit of a telling off. "Don't try to call me! Go after him!" I guess she was very grateful, though.
But yeah, I'm not going to let my 2.5 year old off with the big kids. YOU NEVER KNOW. Bad things happen, even in small towns.
