Patron is looking for a book, doesn't know if it's fiction or non-fiction
but says title is Charlie. Doesn't know the author. Says it's about a
retarded man who has an operation or undergoes some kind of experiment and
isn't retarded anymore.

This is sounding familiar to me (I think there was a movie made?) but our
online catalog is down and I'm unable to consistently view WorldCat to
look. Anybody with the answer off the top of their head.

The book title is Flowers for Algernon. The movie was called Charlie. This is off the top of my
head so the spelling might not be correct.

If I'm not mistaken, the book is called "Flowers for Algernon" and its by
Daniel Keyes. Charly is the movie version of the book.
