I do not know how it started, but I have what is now a very large
selection of rubber ducks of all sizes and styles. I think a child gave
me one and the collection grew. They are arranged on a daily basis and
they never disappear. I had bookmarks, but the disappear within a 2
week period and I can't keep up with them cost wise.

Subject: Re: TARGET: What interesting thing do you keep at the circ
desk?
Hi all:
At our JH/HS circ desk, I have an assortment of lotions and hand
sanitizers (because everybody seems to have a different favorite scent
and the guys mostly don't want any scent), bookmarks in a 4-column
display, and a word of the day calendar that usually has words that the
students are not familiar with and lead to some interesting discussions.
I'm not sure that these are interesting items (and definitely aren't
unusual) but they work with our students to give them something to do
while waiting at the desk for their turn.
Enjoying this thread,
Judi Chelekis,
who recently finished reading Teen, Inc.(good read for middle school);
Patterson's The Final Warning (ok); Evolution, Me, and Other Freaks of
Nature (another good read for discussions); and ttyl (which I found very
difficult to follow, sadly, making me feel:-( old ).

A popular government without popular information, or the means of
acquiring it, is but a prologue to a farce or a tragedy, or perhaps
both. Knowledge will forever govern ignorance, and a people who mean to
be their own governors must arm themselves with the power which
knowledge gives.
