Why Libraries Smell Funny

Even in our high-tech Internet age, libraries are still operating. Maybe not as many hours per week as a couple decades ago, maybe not as meeting places for teenagers on school nights, but they still serve a function beyond providing rest rooms for homeless people.

Just for fun, librarians responded to a survey asking what unusual things have they found inside library books. It is probably no surprise that people apparently eat while reading. Some edible surprises found inside library books:

  • Bologna
  • Pop Tart
  • Bologna
  • Uncooked bacon
  • A taco
  • French fries
  • Bologna
  • Marijuana leaf
  • Kraft Singles cheese slice
  • Pickle slices
