What kind of creep puts a cat in the Book Return??? (Or could the
kitty have gotten in there by itself?)

I used to work at a large metro library. You wouldn't believe what
came in the book drop. We always closed it on Halloween!
I do remember a cat loose in the library one morning, but the worst
thing was several pigeons once. What a mess.

I worked for a couple of years as a library assistant while I was an
undergraduate. We never had anything animate put down the book drop,
to my knowledge, but we did have a few books ruined when someone
poured a Coke down the book drop. The worst mess we ever had was
when the Metro Transit Authority sent in a library book that had been
found on a city bus. Someone had spilled a chocolate milkshake onto
the book, and it had then sat in the bus long enough for the milk to
go thoroughly sour. It stunk so bad that we couldn't even stand to
have it in the trashcan in the workroom. I had to take it to a trash
container outside the library building.
