This has been a fun thread to read!
Besides the piles of stuff that I'm in the middle of (my desk is not
neat and I'm the solo library staff and I love having quirky, but
useful things nearby -- our reference area's signage is made from a
King Kong silouhette I rescued from a neighbor's trash, repainted and
and hanged from the top of the reference shelving) I keep two Calvin
and Hobbes cartoons taped to the side of the computer -- in one Calvin
excitedly asks his mother if the librarian will break his knees over a
book that's two days late and in the other Calvin asks the reference
librarian is she has anything on painting techniques for graffiti,
especially dirty words and slogans, and wonders after her response
just what it is that librarians do.
I keep a vase with purple and gold (our school colors) artificial
Gerber daisy flowers that are wrapped with floral tape to ballpoint
pens. The flowers get a lot of comment and I can loan a pen easily and
it's never taken, even by accident.
My favorite thing -- besides photographs of my grandbabies -- is the
green M&M character dressed for Easter with bunny ears that I hang
rubber bands on. I never have a convenient place for them.
