Ah geez an entire segment of literature devoted to serving weird patrons.<br>
<br>
We were discussing the Ludington book last evening here at home and that led me to trying to explain to Patrick<br>
about the sex pervert who was frequenting my stacks in the departmental library that I worked in at Illinois.<br>
He'd come in, sit on a kickstool in the range of 3 bookcases and fondle himself while looking at the female LIS students.<br>
I told the student assistants the description and the one says "oh I know that guy." So she called<br>
the cops when he came in on Sunday afternoon and they came and hauled him away.<br>
<br>
We also had someone that stole coed's shoes at the undergraduate library for years, which was weird because<br>
they checked backpacks when one left that library.<br><font color="#888888">
