Hi everyone, I hope you all enjoyed this month’s posts. This last week’s post is one I thought of late at night. Yes, as the title suggests this will be a post on funny or quirky things I’ve heard or seen around in the libraries I’ve worked in over the years.

Hi everyone, this week I will be featuring a short poem of mine from a few years back when I was visiting Sri Lanka and we were stuck inside while a huge monsoon downpour drenched my aunt’s garden. The monsoon rains in that part of the world are quite different from the thunderstorms we get here in New Zealand. This small poem was written while contemplating the difference between the two. Hope you enjoy it!!
