It was fun and I encouraged my staff that if they find them on the floor, find another book and stick it in there. No harm, no foul :) Yes there is always the possibility that the kids will take it in the other direction but we started out by talking about New Year's resolutions and we (mostly I) decided that our resolution for this year should be to be nicer to each other. All you can do is hope!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1684912259946202162.post-71282488173313291312013-09-10T19:17:15.550-04:002013-09-10T19:17:15.550-04:00ANONYMITY is a dangerous thing.

The worst case scenario could be fairly serious - as other children come upon these notes, someone may decide it'd be really funny to put totally inappropriate verbiage or pictures in a book as a sort of "funny" comeback. It would be impossible to catch them, and you'd have no idea where the notes are hidden or how many there are - they could be tucked inside ANY book in your collection. And thus I sign this . . . anonymously! ;-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1684912259946202162.post-43801406882624173342013-08-07T13:51:25.740-04:002013-08-07T13:51:25.740-04:00Thank you!

I am a children's librarian, too and yes, there are plenty of odds and ends left in books- but this is a wonderful idea- so suck it up if you have to bend over to pick up a piece of paper with an inspirational message on it. Or, get a new job in which you are better suited.chud107https://www.blogger.com/profile/07788189111282317560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1684912259946202162.post-65856619371165110952013-02-12T16:12:33.665-05:002013-02-12T16:12:33.665-05:00Another librarian chiming in.

If a staff member saw such a thing in a book, he or she would be likely (I think) to leave it in place, with a tiny little smile.

I wouldn't mind finding a kind bomb in one of our library books. At least I know kids are in the library enjoying themselves. We try to create a space for children to explore and have fun.

Please ask your librarian if you could put up a poster to write kindness thoughts from kids, or some other idea rather than making more work for us! Many times, when a book is checked in, we will scan the pages to make sure no one forgot something left as a bookmark. If it is just a piece of paper, we will throw it out!
