 you think it can’t get much worse than the toilet overflowing all over the only restroom in the office – but it can and did!  In the midst of everything going on and things going wrong, I was doing a bit of research and happened upon a quiz from the Oxford
 University Press called, “ <a href="https://mms.neo-rls.org/ct.php?lid=52988043&nr=5834112405">
Which library matches your personality </a>?”  Needing a bit of whimsy and a moment to put everything into perspective, I decided to spend a minute taking the quiz.  It’s a super short quiz (7 multiple choice questions) and it links you up with libraries all
 over the world.  My quiz resulted in a match with the Stuttgart (Germany) City Library.  The person at OUP who put out the information was matched up to The New York Public Library.  If you need a bit of fun to start your week, take a minute to see what library
 you match up with.  <em><span style="font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif">Together we are maximizing library potential.</span></em>  Thanks and have a wonderful week!<br>
