It happened at the Everergreen Library

story by: Roxanne Dubarry
Written on Jun 25, 2013

I just do not know if this could possibly happen to anyone else like yours truly. I returned some of the Evergreen's
Library. It is located in South Everett Washington where I reside.

The next thing I did was to browese through their DVD's
collection. My friends, and I watch DVD's at my place
mainly on weekends.  I placed the DVD's on the counter,
but apparently I forgot to check-them-out at their counter.

I blissfully went home to enjoy watching a movie on my old
fashioned DVD player, which I affectionally call, "old lady." But much to my surprise, the DVD's folders were
empty.

My friend, Mary and I both thought that it was the librarian's fault. She just forgot to put them into
their folders.

However, when I phoned the library, she stated,"Roxanne,
you went home with the empty DVD's folders." I did not
blame them, I just blamed myself. But the mystery is,
how did I manage to get them out the library. "Roxanne,
I don't know how you did it!"

So I took the DVD's back to to the Evergreen Library,
and apologized to them. I used my dark blue bag,
that I usually take to the  library to put DVD's into.

I told them I did not bring my blue bag with me,
I bought one of the library's bags. I thought I
had checked them out, but of course that was not true.

"Roxanne, you put the DVD's into your sack," she explained
to me. "But how did I manage to leave the library without
somebody stopping me? Why was I allowed to get away with it?
I asked her. "We do not know," she replied to my questions.

"Roxanne, did you forget to put something else into your
sack," she examined me carefully. "I did not. I am an
honest person and I usally always tell the truth. If I
say I did not put any thing else into my sack, you
can believe me." 

"But something must be done to prevent someone else from
doing exactly what I did. I just do not know how,
you will just have to think of something." I suggested to them.

But all's well that end's well. My DVD folders were reunited
with their jackets. I even renewed some of them and they are
due this coming Friday, June 29, 2013.

Since the library is withing walking distance from my
Holly Village apartment, I can easily walk down there.
I really do need the exercise, my friends are always
telling me.

"In the mean time in between time ain't we got fun!"
God be with you until we meet again!
