Jan. 7th, 2019 07:17 pmWe have a new Mystery Library Patron*. So far, we are calling him Map Guy.
He comes in every couple of days, with a cardboard box full of maps, wearing a uniform that indicates he works for the ferries. He then spreads his maps out across a table and proceeds to stay there for hours, doing esoteric things with a compass, and making notes in a notebook.
We have no idea what he's doing. I half desperately want to know and half really don't, because if I don't find out, it can't turn out to be something mundane and boring.
So far, the staff consensus is that he's searching for pirate treasure.
*Past Mystery Library Patrons include Blood Moon Guy (who also teaches a self-defense class that seems to consist of teaching old ladies to fight with sticks), Alien Conspiracy Guy (who got a guest pass to use our computers every time he came in so the government couldn't track him, but then placed holds with his library card), Print Out Lady (who used to come in every day and print at least 30 but sometimes upwards of 100 pages of miscellaneous information), and Millionaire Sasquatch Man (who teaches Sasquatch spotting classes, told us he's a millionaire, wears the same ratty clothes every day, brings a huge computer monitor in to set up on one of our tables, and is apparently widely hated in Sasquatch spotting circles for posting "sightings" that everyone else in the community can tell are fake).
