At the Andrew Carnegie Free Library in Carnegie,
Pennsylvania, we once had a bat flying around the
Library in the Winter! We called an animal control
firm, which found the bat resting on a book shelf--all
tired-out.

Another time, the Library was closed and I was in the
Library preparing for that night's Board of Trustees
meeting. A young hawk flew right through a closed
window, flew across the library and fell down right in
front of me and died on the spot. Apparently, flying
through the window glass had severly injured his neck.

Okay, wasn't it just yesterday that I was bemoaning
that fact that I had artifacts I couldn't find? Well,
today went a few steps further. We had a squirrel in
our library - upstairs no less! How he got in is
beyond us, and how he worked the elevator is another
question. He was much too short to press the buttons!
Anyway, he probably came up the front stairs from the
front door. We got him with an apple and a humane
trap. He took off like a shot. I am sure he had had
enough of our zoo of a workplace! Man, I sure have not
been bored with the new job!
 
They pay me for this, ya know? How cool is the museum
field?
