The Minneapolis Library loves its patrons!

Reader Alana R. sent along this gem about a boy, a stolen bike, and some rockin’ Minneapolis Library security guards.

The other night, I got a call from a dejected Seven. My 12-year-old nephew, who’s been living with us for a few months, was at the library, and his bike had been stolen. I drove down to get him and sincerely thanked the security guards who had helped him: they let him use the phone to call me, got a description of the bike, and said they’d check out their security camera tape to see if they could spot the theft.

But then on Saturday, we got a call from the library: “We’ve got Seven’s bike.” A quick drive, all high-fives and woo-hoos, and we were at the Central Library to fetch the prodigal bike.

That’s not the end of the story, though… See what the Minneapolis Library security guards did to make Seven’s day and make this a story I had to share on RBH!
