-ExcellentLibraries specialize in the preservation and distribution of information. That being said, there is still such a thing as TOO MUCH INFORMATION.
For example: telling the reference desk lady that your new appearance is due to losing over 80 pounds from a nasty case of Hepatitis. Further, handing said friendly library employee a book that you have had checked out and telling her you fear it might be infected with the disease and you wanted the library to know so we wouldn’t put it back on the shelf and infect everyone else in the library.
(If you were really worried about the contagion of the book, why did you HAND IT to a library employee? No gloves. No bag. No brains)
Side note: You can’t contract hepatitis from a library book. Nor can you contract aids. The book would have to be soaked in bodily fluids and then EATEN, and that’s just nasty.
Side Side note: Diseases that would be possible to contract from a library book, under the right circumstances, include pink eye, flesh eating bacteria, and ringworm. I’m not saying that this is a common occurrence, but I’m also not suggesting you go around licking library books.
Aside side note: Dumbass.
