Cornered by Mike Baldwin for April 16, 2021

She’s making “references” to research materials & such.

It’s alright; she used a silencer.

She use a silencer in order to conform to the Dewey Decibel system.

She’s VERY serious about that rule.

i’d hate to see how she deals with patrons whose books are overdue…

Not funny – especially these days.

Saying that now is a little late. How is he supposed to remember that.

Shootings aren’t funny.

Even the Library of Congress has been plagued by thieves stealing rare books—or cutting them up for their illustrations.

Kinsey Library, Bloomington, IN.

Neither a borrower nor a lender be.

I was flabbergasted the first time I went to the public library in Phoenix and saw a metal detector at the door. WTH!

Wow!!! I can hear the gun freaks already.

Who’s talking??? At least she had a silencer on the gun…

Silencers (or “suppressors,” not technically the same thing, though I’m not into the topic) aren’t as quiet as you may think. (Also, whether the ammo is sub- or supersonic makes a large difference.) Anyway, some examples: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_eDoeWr_9BQ

These librarians can be tough. Tough but very, very quiet with the gun (silencers for librarians? Hmmmm)

He must’ve tried to check out: “Peace and Civility in Politics and Society.”

You can check it out, but it can never leave.

Hilarious! I sent the link to a librarian whim I know.
