Have you ever wondered what happens to all the things people leave behind in library books? If you're familiar with our Found in a Library Book collection, you know what happens to them here at OPL!
This continually growing collection now has more than 900 items and they each have a story to tell. But where to begin with such a large collection? Maybe with a bit of a scavenger hunt? That's what we've decided to do!
We've sought to find every single found item that features an animal, as our first hunt, and we think we did a pretty good job!
All together, we found more than 90 found collection items with animals and put them together in a zine (that you can check out in person at your closest OPL location)!
Check out some of the 18 images cats and 16 of dogs:
Here are some of the 33 bookmarks:
There are some old things:
And some homemade things:
And some very informative things:
You can see 91 of them in Volume One of our Found in a Library Book Zine!
Ask about it at your favorite branch, or download a copy to read online.
See the whole Found collection here. Can you find any animals that we missed?
If you are inspired by any of the items you see, consider what its story might be, and share with us! Perhaps that'll make it into a future zine.
