In honor of the Milliken Library's study of Peep behavior at an academic library (http://www.millikin.edu/staley/peeps/), my colleague Trisha and I decided to do a version of the study at a small public library in northern New Jersey.

 

During the course of our research we discovered that Peeps are not only curious about the latest books, but they are also secret fans of chick lit. They like playing chess, doing jigsaws, and engaging in group research. We also found that they are very willing to help out with library tasks, when asked. Their willingness to volunteer for even the most boring tasks of weeding and collecting delivery statistics should not be overlooked.
