Re: [LM_NET] interesting things at circulation desk

[Barbara Paciotti <barupa@SWBELL.NET>]

I have a few goofy items I rotate off and on to keep my middle-schoolers 
curious:

A mini-shopping cart to display new books (it's about 10" tall-, about 
Bratz-doll-sized)
A battery-powered Toucan bird that repeats--twice--everything you say
Two dancing hamsters--one w/ Kung-Fu Fightin' and the other with "Respect"
A mini-stop light that flashes yellow when it gets loud and flashes red 
with a siren when it gets way too loud
A green head in a clear plastic globe that wobbles and groans--I like to 
turn it on when a kid has an overdue book

And the /piece de resistance/ ... a real (deer) heart in a mayonnaise 
jar of formalin--from my science teacher days--with a sign on top that 
says "HAD OVERDUE BOOK."
