I love finding notes, lists, book marks and photos that people accidentaly (or not?) leave in donated books. Here's a sweet note that I found today, tucked into a copy of Chicken Soup for the Soul:
Hey!
I picked up your book and read this story it was open too. Kind of reminds me of myself lately. I remember telling you recently that you're the reason I've gotten in such good shape. You didn't believe me but it's true. I want to be like this guy and live till I'm 110 years old because i want to be able to spend as many days with you as possible. that's why I'm working so hard.
I love you!
I hope the woman had a chance to read this before she donated her book to the library!
Earlier this year in a YA novel I found a homemade bookmark, made out of an index card and coloured with pencil crayons. It read:
Sister.
You may be annoying,
you may be a pain,
but with a sister like you,
I do nothing but gain!
I love you.
I can definitely relate to that one! I posted it up on the wall because it reminds me of my own annoying, much loved and missed sisters.

Good ones. Here at BPL, we have found interesting "bookmarks" in the library bookdrop too. The usual bills or prescriptions or lists show up but the most unusual bookmark to date that I have heard about was a pair of women's panties ( the small g-string sort ) tucked inside a book ......not sure if they were freshly laundered or ???
