Titles that Go Missing (for those who are curious)

Every library has titles that get marked missing or lost more that others.  Here is a breakdown of what goes in our library.


HOW TO DO YOUR OWN DIVORCE  IN NEW BRUNSWICK

BACKPACKING IN EUROPE (my theory is that the books does go to Europe, and doesn't come back)

Books about LOCAL CRIME

Books about SEX

FYI UPDATE 2025 : I can scarcily keep track of all the books that go missing even though they are only a small fraction of our total circulation. We periodically get a list of Lost and Missing titles. Sometimes we locate them on our shelves (sorry Patrons!) Most get a NOS (Not on Shelf) notation. Other branches find them and often they come back with patrons who are apologetic. Life is busy and we all need time to go back and remember where we last saw the book. Some are lost in house moves and all the boxes take a long time open and sort. We appreciate the effort all our patrons take to locate a missing book.
