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

[Linda Martin <lindamartin423@GMAIL.COM>]

I have a Clifford bobble head doll, a crown cling on the window ('cause I'm
Queen of the Library), and bamboo in a glass jar of glass pebbles.  Nestled
in the bottom is an opalescent egg that I tell the kids is a dragon egg.  It
has developed its own mythology - when will it hatch?  7 years (the answer
is always 7 years), is it a real egg? (of course!), how big will the dragon
get? (the egg is about chicken sized, so we predict that the dragon will be
small - hen-sized), where will it live when it grows up? (depends upon
whether it is a sea dragon or a land dragon)  The circulation desk is the
first stop on the tour for new students!
