Inspired by Barb's request for the toilet paper rolls pictured in my last entry (unfortunately, that was a borrowed picture from Flickr so I can't help out with that), I'll put out this question…
One of our branches had a sign up requesting empty used Kleenex boxes be donated to the library. I assumed they were needed for craft projects but it turns out that it was something else, completely unrelated to children's programming.
Can you guess what they were needed for?

I hope you're gonna tell us … it's driving me nuts trying to figure it out. All I can come up with is:
– storage of some sort (CD's, perhaps?)
– some funky new shoe cover
– building blocks
In other words … no, I can't guess what they're going to be used for.
Um, contest entry form submission boxes? You're going back to card catalogues? Someone is building a better mouse trap? Pencil boxes?
I got… nothing.

I hope the real answer's not too much of a let down but they use them as spacers behind their books on the shelves to keep the books (especially paperbacks) near the front of the shelf.
I don't know – I just thought it was a pretty innovative solution to a simple problem in a typically cash-strapped small library where you can't buy the $9.95 Brodart Oak Handcrafted Spacer ™.
