Kids at the library are starting to take advantage of the fact that they can get up to five free photocopies from reference material, as well as free info printed off the Internet (printed by whoever's on the Desk, that is).
They used to just ask for books about Einstein, the history of muffins, rabbits, or whatever, then pay 20c per photocopy. Now they ask for Internet pictures, or pictures in reference books only. Show 'em a lending copy of a book with fabulous pictures, and they just don't want to know. Kids of today, eh?

The history of muffins? Hilarious. No, wait I second, I think I'm interested in the history of muffins too. Could you recommend some reference material?
Yeah, really. The book I found them was 'Cakes and Muffins' by Hazel King (Published by Heineman, Oxford 1998). It's classed as Junior Non Fiction, and supposed to include their history, and how they're made around the world - as well as recipes and experiments(!).
