It was a normal day at Charleston Library when library assistant Georgia Grainger first uncovered the mystery of the Page 7 Vandal.
An elderly lady approached her to check out some new books and pointed out something a bit unusual, an underline on the seventh page of certain books – wartime romances, in particular.
Georgia took to Twitter to share the story she dubbed the Mystery of the Page 7 Vandal.
So there was a MYSTERY at the library today.
A wee old women came in and said "I've a question. Why does page 7 in all the books I take out have the 7 underlined in pen? It seems odd."
"What?" I say, thinking she might be a bit off her rocker. She showed me, and they did.— Georgia | Saoirse (@green_grainger) April 3, 2018
“As someone with a slightly overactive imagination who probably watches too many dramatic television shows, I started thinking of all sorts of possible explanations – a serial killer, a spy ring, a secret romance.” the Dundee based librarian told The Big Issue.
“The older woman who noticed the marks seemed nonplussed and happily went on her way with some more romance novels, but I was sat wondering what was going on in our wee library!”
