I once provided the information that helped a young girl mummify a squirrel...she ended up in the State Science Fair with her project on mummification techniques.

I have a book called "The Long Summer", a fictionalized account of a man's decision to stay Amish even though he was offered a full and complete scholarship for as far as he wanted to go in school. He ended up writing several textbooks for the Amish schools in Ohio, testifying in the Amish Schools Case, and writing his autobiography.   It's autographed to me, "...the best librarian on the planet." (I've been slipping; I have a more recent books autographed to me as "...the best librarian in the Western Hemisphere.")

That was the nice thing about my job: I got to help a lot of people and bring smiles to lots of kids.
