Well, duh, it’s for the ones you can’t check out. Those books are only for use in the book suppository.

@NickEast_IndieWriter @libraries@literature.cafe @Libraries@fedigroups.social @library @books @bookstodon @humor@fedigroups.social @humor@lemmy.world @aiop One of my teachers at uni had a label on a very heavy and detailed tome of his which he'd taken from a prescription - "WARNING Do not operate heavy machinery".

How about you just charge the patron for the ruined book and then buy a replacement. If they don’t have sense enough to not do these things, adding warning labels out the wazoo isn’t going to change that.

@NickEast_IndieWriter @libraries@literature.cafe @Libraries@fedigroups.social @library @books @bookstodon @humor@fedigroups.social @humor@lemmy.world @aiop Yep, I love the explanation given for "not microwave safe" books but I REALLY want to hear the story for "for suppository use only".
