But he's so cute!
We are currently experiencing a ‘mouse problem’ in the Library. This is a common, and often undiscussed, problem of Libraryland. In my past, I’ve trapped these little furry friends in cups and garbage cans, I’ve yelped as they’ve sprung from book drops and confirmed the ‘evidence’ of their presence. I had a Library Volunteer once who was so afraid of the creatures that she not only couldn’t bring her self to say “that word” but couldn’t cover a book with a mouse on the cover. I, however, have a soft spot for the little fellows. I admit that I am in the minority when I say that I harbor fantasies of saving the little guys. (Wouldn’t it be fun to have mice in the children’s section? Somewhere, Megan has just shuddered.) There are of course, far more reasons to eliminate them, than to rescue them. I am currently outvoted and we have been trying various means to ‘take them out.’ But I can’t help but feel like a hitman. So… dear readers, I ask for your assistance! Peer pressure. Cast your vote – Save the Mice! And in case you are on the fence …. From back in the day when there was a National Institute of Mental Health, comes this great story about making friends and protecting one's family. If you were turned into a mouse by evil witches, what would YOU do? Sometimes a mouse is destined for great things. Even a baby mouse can be a superhero.
