Re: [LM_NET] TARGET: What interesting thing do you keep at the circ desk?

[Guusje Moore <guusje@MINDSPRING.COM>]

I have "things to fiddle with" on my circulation desk.  Right now it's 3 egg
timers (the kids love to race them), 3 fossil shark teeth compliments of
Freecycle, a perpetual calendar that's sort of like an abacus  (Goodwill),
and a wooden sign that says NO WHINING which I once stuck in my daughters
Christmas stocking.  I also have a Lighting Ball (garage sale).  My computer
area has 10 Lava Lamps (also compliments of garage sales).

I find if the kids have "Please touch" items on the desk they are much
better behaved while waiting to check out their books.
