Behind the Books
16th Nov 2006, 22:42 GMT
Another local news station has found their local public library, this time it's WANE-TV in Fort Wayne, Indiana. It starts like this... (I imagine they have a guy with a real deep voice rading, and some dark sinister music playing in the background)"A stolen library book is a fairly insignificant problem at the Allen County public library. We found more sinister things to watch for." The last paragraph might just be better than the first: "With that in mind this next report becomes increasingly disturbing. It details children being left alone at the library. One case documents a small child leaving a branch parking lot, it says she's three years old, and that her mother was cited a few days ago for leaving her child unattended."
