Library Love Stories
The
Athens library recently got a visit from a four-footed patron who likes
books so much, he literally eats them up! Oliver was very ashamed
of his behavior and wrote a sweet letter to the Athens branch manager
to apologize:
Dear Amy the Library Lady,
I
wish to offer my sincere apology for defacing this work of literary
fiction. In my defense, I am an illiterate former street dog with a
curious appetite for knowledge. I now realize that hoomans have a
different take on enjoying a good read than doggos like me. My hooman
has brought me here in person to beg for your understanding and
forgiveness. She will take care of any fines for my naughty
behavior. I am now enrolled in school and hope to further my
education while channeling my abundance of energy in a more productive
manner.
Best regards,
Oliver Jackson Schumacher
P.S. I nibble on plants too.
