I just accidentally typed Libraries and instead typed librariers. Librariers are clearly the things preventing me from getting my books back on time. To put this in perspective last year I spent more money on late book fees at the library than I did video rental fees. Scary. I think that the Librarians see me coming and fear for their books and other patrons because they know that my family returns books so slowly that some authors have probably written and published new children’s books in between our picking up their previous 16 page special and when we’ll eventually return it. Librariers exist because goofy patrons like us forget that we can renew the books online… if we remembered we had them.
And that’s why we can’t have nice things.
