While I’m on the subject of library
vagaries, I came across this in a book from the Mountain View Public
Library:
This is the first time I’ve ever seen this kind of
WARNING! WARNING! WARNING! And I’ve been checking books out of libraries for a
really, really long time. Including
from MVPL for more than four years now.
I mean, I get it that you’re only borrowing the materials,
and you’re essentially sharing them with everyone else who wants to check the
resources out, too.
But I’m not sure that this notice will deter those so
inclined from defacing or stealing the books and whatnot.
The particular book with the WARING! WARNING! WARNING! was
a cookbook. I wonder if they have a special problem with cookbooks being returned with
burn marks and sauce splashes sticking the pages together?
If so, I wasn't the guilty party.
If so, I wasn't the guilty party.
