Technically True

Patron: Excuse me, do you guys have any pamphlets on the library system here?

Me, handing them a pamphlet: Here you go.

Patron: Hmm, I meant something more informational on like, the history of how this was the first free library in the US.

Me: Well you won’t find that anywhere because it isn’t true. The first free public library was in Peterborough, New Hampshire.

Patron: But… this is the first free library in Philadelphia, right?

Me: …yes. The Free Library of Philadelphia is the first Free Library… in Philadelphia.

Patron: Okay, thanks!
