I seem to recall a story a few years ago in local news where a man was approaching preteen girls in a public library and handing them notes saying something like “You are sweet, let’s be friends”. Turns out there was nothing the police could arrest him for. ---

Am I the only one with a non-pervy library? Our best stories are things like the guys who thought it was a good location for a game of football, or the guy who phoned me to ask if anyone had handed in his lost BLT. ---

Oddly enough when I first started working for another university in another state, we had a foot guy for awhile there too. I don’t think he ever got caught, but he stopped coming back. I heard about a school whose students couldn’t access [marsexploration.com](http://marsexploration.com) because it had s-e-x in it. 😛 ---

Our best stories are things like the guys who thought it was a good location for a game of football, or the guy who phoned me to ask if anyone had handed in his lost BLT. You’re not the only one. The library I work at is pretty unexciting. There’s been a few pervy moments from the patrons, but in 15 years of working there, I think I can count them all on one hand. ---

Well, not only does her name fit, but she also most definitely resembles a Lowell prostitute. $60 seems kinda high, though. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/hooker-in-public-library-quietly-passes-notes-to-johns/690941.md?page=2)
