Two stories about kids. This first story is from a cw's facebook page.
Kate: librarian who tells the story
Nate: librarian who got hoodwinked by the kids
: me
tim: somebody's friend on fb
various librarians
Kate: Soooo....two promising young members of the "Future Felons of America" club boldly STOLE the children's room's binder of over 75 Wii and X-Box games (worth over $3000) last night after "casing the joint" and seizing the day. Congratulations! I see a bright future ahead for these two young rascals with lots of time devoted to indoor recreation within small confined spaces of concrete and metal.
Kara: were they caught?
Kate: Not yet...
Sian: Whoa... that's pretty wild...
Mike: You got them on video right? Post it on Youtube and when the mother sues, you'll have the culprits.
Hope: When I was at Stella, we had a kid steal the Rock Band disc. One staff member (who will remain nameless) went in and turned off all systems and announced that unless someone turned in the guilty party, all games would be suspended for at least a week or two. We had a name, an address, and a phone number in 20 minutes
Tim: they have video games at the library?!?!?!
Kate @ Johnson Kelsey Brooks...yes. We are the coolest library ever.
Alex: was best response! PUT up a sign at desk, downstairs, and going into the room that 1.) There will be no gaming until the property is returned. 2.) That persons with valid info toward attaining first goal will receive X reward for the where abouts of said small criminals and goods stolen! $3000. is a FELONY!
Kate: My colleague, Sam, predicts that if these two kids do get caught and end up in Juvie they will have no street cred. "How LAME is it to steal from a library?"
Kate @ Mark...their backs were caught on tape as they were running out of the room with the binder.
Alex: yeah catching their backs that's Great camera work there! lol!
Phil: Definitely the Hope idea -- no honor amongst thieves.
Angie: That is a major drag.
Me: Did the felons sneak behind the desk or did someone hand them the binder, thinking, "oh, they look like little angels"?
Kate: Sneak behind the desk.
Nate: Not only did they sneak behind the desk, they cased the place before doing so. On the video, they clearly wait for me to help a patron in the back of the room, and then go for it. They picked a night where we were too busy for me to notic...e. Perhaps securtiy is needed back on the 4th floor! My two cents: Taking away gaming for everyone only hurts our regular patrons. These guys were not regulars and will probably never be back. But...if this catches them, then I'm all for it!
Tammy: Yes... But did they also steal the wii? I'll have to have a talk with them...
Me: I bet the folder and the box are somewhere, empty, in the library. Probably taken out with the trash by now. This is why we can't have nice things.
This story is from chat I have to do with a consortium. There are a bunch of kids from Penn. who always are asking us similar questions. Today there were a lot of question about India, like "what are the gender differences" and other in-depth questions that the kids should actually be using books and their brains instead of asking us.
This one had to do with the Three Kings. Note, I changed names.
