shared: “I worked at a large central library for a year.point 98 | The book drop was a large mechanical thing with a conveyor belt that brought all the books down a couple floors to a basement room, where they all dropped out onto a table and could be sorted.point 254 |One morning, we noticed that it looked like zero books had come in overnight.point 64 | The conveyor was jammed, so we sent the janitor up to investigate.point 119 | There’s some rattling, and then a pile of books come sliding down the chute.point 188 | Then more rattling.point 205 |
The janitor comes back down five minutes later, asking for latex gloves.point 61 | Someone found him a pair, and back he went.point 96 | He returned about a minute later with an 8-inch purple dildo that had jammed up the conveyor belt.point 177 | ”point 184 | 1
Erraticschematic shared: “A book got run over by a car. There were a full set of weird tracks on the cover. It tore the spine right off, bent lots of pages, but it didn’t rip the mylar cover. Somehow it got past check-in and shelved because it could still shut.”
Nrnr shared: “I once opened a book to find two thirds of an intact meat pie inside (in New Zealand, this is a common convenience store snack). Seriously disgusting.”
Sammit89 shared: “We always encourage book marks and give them out quite frequently. Well, one time a book was returned with a unique bookmark. A TORTILLA! How does that happen?”
Fotograffer shared: “I worked in a library for several years, and I once found an entire cherry pie in the book drop. It was whole, in a box, like someone had tried to do something nice and give us a pie, but the library was closed.”
Lafanucchi shared: “We had a book returned by a teen patron with the bone from a fried chicken wing as a bookmark. Oil stains and skin remnants included.”

She was asking her mother about the drop, seemingly very curious and interested in it.point 72 | She decided to experiment by dropping a single animal cracker.point 125 | Then another.point 137 | And another.point 148 | I’m chuckling at this point, finding it amusing how excited she was getting watching the crackers disappear down the chute.point 258 |
About 20 crackers later, (this girl was going ham, mind you) her mom decided it was time to drop the books in, putting them all in at once.point 112 | Crrrruuunnch.point 125 | The crackers at the bottom explode from the impact, causing the little girl to squeal with glee at the sound.point 215 |
I realized that I would have to clean up this mess — a real FML moment.point 58 | It turned out that some of these crackers were in her mouth and were wet and soggy, making them smoosh into the books.point 154 | ”point 161 | 1
Insufficient__Funds shared: “I was a library page in high school. Our book drop was free-standing and located several feet from the door. One time, I went to empty the drop and a cat jumped out. It’s a good thing I came around, as it was summertime and really quite hot outside.”
xRadic shared: “I had someone slip their Macbook Air through the book drop one time. A MACBOOK AIR! The lady was really not nice about getting it back either.”
