It is probably no single big-city phenomenon, but I'll see him more frequently lately: the library bargain hunters. His turf is the obvious (city) library and its prey mainly Scandinavian crime novels and audio books. We met him especially on Friday night or Saturday morning if he wants to equip themselves for the upcoming weekend. First, he browsed the shelves with the recommendations, almost indiscriminately be thrown encyclopedia in the small carrying basket, is sorted out later. It usually follows the mystery shelf. The procedure is the same. Jump into the basket, and later sorted out. Then, the most sensitive area in the area: the Department with the audio books. This usually meet several hunters, is the unspoken rule that you only ever approaching from the other side, because on this rival was usually not enough. With quick glance, the latest audiobooks are spotted (they do accept the newer, milky plastic bags), put in the basket and on. Strip the Hunter "by accident", is patterned, the basket of the other, which prey has escaped? Who has more? Finally, follow the newly released books and audio books, which have not yet been sorted into the shelves and yet at the circulation desk stand. There, hiding the most desirable items.
to finally goes to the loan, the underlying in the basket of goods sorted out many a "bargain" turns out to be unusable or already known. Hunting is only completed at the issue queue, the tension falls, the blood pressure falls, the captured items are vorgeleget the library lady and then dragged expectant home. My long weekend is at least saved ...
