Like many libraries, our Friends of the Library group sells books at our
locations as a fundraiser. We don't have lock boxes, so we take the
payments for the books at our front desk and lock them in a desk drawer. An advantage of this is that we can make change for patrons if needed.
Nice old lady: I'm sorry to do this to you, but if I want to by a $1.00 book, can you break a $20?
Me: I totally understand, no worries. Let me check...Do you mind taking a $2.00 bill?
Lady: Not at all. I think it will be worth something someday...[pause]...I think it will be worth two dollars.
