Useless Fact #2

Did you know...

Beverly Goldman was jailed in January of 2000 on seven counts of failing to return overdue library books. Goldman was arrested at her local library in Clearwater, Florida. That library had tried for over sixteen months to retrieve the overdue materials valued at $127.86.* The lesson? Turn in your stuff, people!!

Just an FYI: Wednesday, September 21st at 6:00PM, the Anderson Public Library will be showing Pirates of the Caribbean: the Curse of Black Pearl in the Delaware Room. This swashbuckling film lasts 143 minutes and is rated PG-13.** We will have all sorts of pirate books on display for your reading pleasure...ye bilge rat! Not to mention tasty treats courtesy of the Friends of the Anderson Public Library, matey!!
