The day the library told me off...

I am very interested in reading this book "The Shack" by William Paul Young. I recently went to the Library with a list of books I was interested in checking out. I then remembered I would like to borrow this book so I went to the computer & typed in "The Shack" to get the shelf location. I was astonished as to what I saw and thought it must be some sort of joke. Now, keep in mind, I love books, and libraries. I should have known what it meant when I got the response of F YOU...I pushed the back button hoping to redo my search. This had to be a mistake...it had to be. The computer seized up and both Ken & I figured this had to be a joke. Someone clearly hacked into the libraries system.

I made my way to the front desk where I approached the Librarian who was checking out my other selections. I asked her if she knew where "The Shack" was located and I then, in my whispering library voice ...that I can't even hear told her that I did a search & it yielded F YOU. I then said F as in fish, Y-O-U. I wanted to bring it to her attention. I was still certain it was some sort of joke & Ms Librarian needed to know that the library is basically telling people off. She then calmly asked me the authors name & I responded...William Paul Young...still NO clue...she responded with a smile "Fiction Y-O-U...as in Young" Good golly grapes Katherine!!! I should have KNOWN that!!! Ken & I made it to that section & the book was checked out. We both scurried out as fast as possible.

I have to wonder if Ms Librarian thought I was nuts. Oh well. It gave us and many of my family a good chuckle. Perhaps they should change it to Fic You....just a thought
