Awful Library Books

Mime Ministry: An illustrated, easy-to-follow guidebook for organizing, programming and training a troupe of Christian mimes
Toomey
1986

Submitter: Weeded for condition from a public library, where it was still circulating. I think I’m finding it funny because of the “Troupe of Christian Mimes” in the title – one trained Christian mime isn’t enough to spread the Word?! My collection has a slightly more recent title on the topic that I’m keeping, which has the hilarious (to me) LCSH of “Clowns — Religious Aspects — Christianity”.

Holly: If Clowning for Christ and Clownseling weren’t enough for you, here’s an addition to the canon. I honestly don’t know how much or even if books like these go out of date, but this one has seen better days. Whatever library this came from has embraced its ministering mimes! It’s good and dog-eared, and the binding is shot.
