April 1st brings pranks of all kinds, but the annual exhibition of the Schmulowitz Collection of Wit and Humor is no joke even if you may have a few laughs while you're checking it out. This year's theme is "On the Clock: A Playful Guide to Working Life," so why not take a break from your '9 to 5' in the Skylight Gallery on the 6th Floor of the Main Library. The exhibit runs from April 1, 2013 through May 31, 2013.
KEEPS MICE HAPPY
Denver - July 6, 1959 - Petting mice at the U.S. Veterans Hospital is the unusual summer job of Carol Ann Adams, 16, of Denver. She's on the payroll as mouse watcher, but one of her jobs is to make them contented and happy by petting them daily. Researchers say the white mice they use in the laboratory grow better, learn faster and stand the strain of experiments more easily if someone shows them affection. AP Wirephoto
