Dear Elementary School Librarian

Dear Elementary School Librarian,

Hi, I am the mother of one of your third grade students. I was just wondering how closely you track the books your students check out. You see, my son brings home the same library books every other week. He and a buddy have a little system going, probably unbeknownst to the library staff. They are both a little obssessed with rocks and minerals, so they each check out three books on rocks and minerals each week. Then, the next week they return their books and bring home the friend's books they just returned. So, according to my son, they have monopolized your library's six books on their favorite subject the entire school year.

Just thought you should know.

Sincerely, Shelley (mother of the mineral menace)
