Harry Potter
Ruth: i just rode my bike a short distance to the OTHER library, woods hole public library, in order to get Harry potter book 2 and my shame was twofold, one I couldn’t find it, so i had to ask a librarian where i could find “the harry potter books” and two, she took me to the very back corner of the children’s book room for them
Timothy: hahaha
Ruth: the shelves back there are only like three feet tall
Timothy: or wait! is it voldeMORTIFYING?
At last, properly located Harry Potter books! In the bookshop I go to they are shelved in the general Fiction section (wtf).
It does suck when they relegate certain transition-age books to the children’s section. I’ve had to go there to get a book before. Even creepier was the fact that there were intimate adult situations in the book, and it was across the aisle from a picture book about mammals.
