Holly and I went on a field trip a while ago. We visited a couple of small/medium libraries in southeastern Michigan/northern Ohio. We go and look for cool ideas and some possible candidates for ALB. (We also shelf read and front the books because we just can’t let it go.) Well, I found this book and started swearing. Yes, this book is currently in active circulation at a small public library. In 2014. Kill me now.
