Today a patron hurried toward the information desk holding a blue spotted antibacterial wipe.

She said that someone had defaced the statue outside.

 The very expensive statue on temporary loan from a local artist.

Our looks of concern were replaced with stares of horror when the library acting manager politely explained that the streak of paint was a part of the statue. The woman was thanked for her concern, and reassured that she did not need to return with more cleaning supplies.

Several hours later our faithful patron returned. She argued that the paint was definitely graffiti.

 We had to explain that the paint was there when the statue was unveiled

before she finally gave up in a huff of disappontment.

Librarian thought bubble - "Let's hope that she keeps her good intentions and

Clorox wipes out of the Louvre."
