I had a young woman with a school project on the Exxon Valdez. Her part was to look up the chemical composition[properties of petroleum. We found articles on Petroleum and Exxon Valdez in AccessScience, a subscription database that may be available at your local library.
I had a patron and his father come in asking about the record for most the most basketballs spun simultaneously. They thought it was in the 1990 edition of the Guinness Book of World Records. We didn’t have this, and it wasn’t in the more recent editions (2007, 2006…). We checked the GWR wcbsite, and found a listing showing that the older record that the patrons had been referring to had been superseded. Here’s the link to the specific article:

This eventing, I had a patron ask for:
1. Books on Sculpting
2. Art Depictions of the Nativity
This patron had been planning a nativity sculpture for years and I’m pleased to say that I was able to help her get it underway with several art books, children’s stories of the nativity, and books on scuolpting and pottery.
