Every once in awhile, a patron comes in to one of Timberland's 27 branches in search of a book that they vaguely remember reading 23.7 years ago, which had a main character who was a boy, or maybe a woman, and oh, the cover was blue.
If they don't immediately know the book, the librarian-on-the-spot sends out an e-mail to all staff. I've been working here almost three years, and I've always wanted to answer one of those e-mails.
I finally did!
I won pseudo-librarian points for correctly pointing a patron to A Game of Thrones by

Granted, "Main character gets killed off; another becomes center of story" was kind of a give-away, but they did throw me off by thinking they'd read it in the 80s.
