Again, I'd like to thank everyone who responded! As you can see from the list, we have a lot of different backgrounds and hobbies! There were only a few dupes but 95% of everything was a new entry. *Reminder: I will be sharing the presentation when it's completed!* *Also: The presentation is January 30 at 7pm at Tank Space here in Traverse City! More information: *https://traversecity.nerdnite.com/. Now, I've already sourced several other library groups about the following questions but since I got nearly 100 responses here, I thought I would ask again! Thank you so much for humouring me! :) Now on to the questions! *What are the weirdest/strangest item you've found in a book drop?* Example: An adult clown suit and fried chicken *What are the weirdest/strangest items used as bookmarks?* Example: Tin can lids, money, and bacon Thanks again!
