Re: [LM_NET] What interesting thing do you keep at the circ desk?

[Susie Highley <shighley@AOL.COM>]

At one of my adult book clubs, another member who is a teacher went to Goodwill to 
purchase the most bizarre thing she could find for $5.  We had the reverse gift 
exchange (I know there are many names for it) and I "stole" the thing she brought.  
I can best describe it as a large, cracked mirrored egg on a pedestal, about 10 " 
tall, with a Crate & Barrel/Made in China sticker on the bottom.  Kids love it!  
Being in the land of the Indianapolis Colts, I call it my "mini-Lombardi trophy"  

Another thing I have is a wooden stand with multiple country flags-- but one is 
missing.  That's good too, because I ask kids to figure out which one is missing, 
and, before you know it, it's their turn to check out!  Periodically I put out a 
fountain that has the large plastic ball turned by the force of the water (with 
changing colors of light), but when I get tired of kids picking up the ball and 
spraying water I put it aside for awhile.

Great thread!  I'm going shopping for more things to put out!
