A rasher of uncooked bacon may not seem an ideal bookmark, but one was found in a returned library book in Worthing. Former librarian Jan Bild says she found many equally bizarre items during her 30-year career:
▶ A £10 note
▶ A shoelace
▶ A large black-and-white feather
▶ A bag of hashish in a hole gouged in the book's centre pages
▶ A pension book
▶ Love letters to a woman called Edith
▶ Vomit
▶ Photographs of grandchildren
▶ Pages in which every letter "o" had been coloured in
▶ Excrement
▶ Bank statements
▶ Spaghetti
