Librarian fired for book on unsavory patrons

[tannybogus]

LUDINGTON, Mich. - A library employee in this Lake Michigan resort community has been fired for writing a book that describes a range of unpleasant patrons, from the merely unpleasant to online sex fiends, in a town she calls "Denialville."

Using the pen name Ann Miketa, Sally Stern-Hamilton wrote "Library Diaries," which she describes as a fictional account based on her on-the-job experiences.

"While you stop short of naming the individuals you targeted in your book, your detailed descriptions of their unique characteristics and mannerisms make them easily identifiable in our small community," Dickson said.

2. Of course, this just makes me want to read this book.

She can be on her way to a better career if she plays this out right.

3. With over 25 years in the library business what a book I could write.

I'll wait 'till I'm retired or no longer working at the place though.

4. And Dickson has pretty much absolutely ensured, ...

... that ever one of those characters WILL be identified.

Instead of the occasional reader in town thinking, "That seems like so and so." every busy body in town will be going through the book, character by character asking: "I wonder who this one is?"

5. Are there no GOOD citizens of Ludington?

I'll bet it was the consensus of some small cabal that Miketa had to go.

Obviously, she pissed off a few members of Ludington royalty.
