One of our frequent patrons just walked into the library and asked us what was different. As far as I know, we've rearranged nothing since he was in last week, but he insisted that the library looked different.
I said, "Maybe it's like The Prisoner and we've moved the whole library to the Village."
I do not think he got the reference (because I tend to forget that not everyone has seen The Prisoner and that making jokes about the Village really only works for people who have). I think, in fact, that I made the whole experience that much more surreal.
Which, really, is what The Prisoner is meant to do, so mission accomplished, I guess.
We don't have a giant white death-ball that collects your overdue books, though. Which, now that I think about it, is really a shame.
