Lost Book?
by North Adams Library 16 May '24

16 May '24

Hello, Library Land! I received this book in a donation to our library and am trying to return it to the home library if it has not already been withdrawn from circulation. Sadly, there is no property stamp/sticker. Only the call number. The book does not have a barcode, only the old borrower's card/library checkout card in the back of the book. Title is "The Shadowed Path" by Barbara Corcoran. Pictures are attached for reference. Hope to send it home! Thank you, Mariele Busch Library Director North Adams Community Memorial Library 4695 Knowles Rd, North Adams 517-287-4426 northadamslibrarian(a)gmail.com

Looking for 1950's-era book
by Helena Hayes 16 May '24

16 May '24

Good morning! I am on a mission to find a book that a patron thinks is from the 1950's (she would have read it in the mid to late 50's). Here is her description... "... it was an old children's paper type book. It is about trying to capture a dragon with colored stings, or the dragon shot out colored strings. The dragon started out mean, not sure if it became nice or not. It was not a Golden book. Had ships and sea; Asian people." Thank you in advance for any suggestions or recommendations of where to look. Please reply off-list. 🙂 Helena Helena Hayes, MLIS Director Galesburg Charleston Memorial District Library 188 E.
