Maybe I'm dumb but I don't understand the "format" - are the top and bottom sections of text supposed to be related to the middle text? Why is the text over a bottle of alcohol?
I mean people using libraries for the most part don’t really understand the decimal system and probably wouldn’t get the significance of it being in the 000s - especially the 000s where it’s sandwiched between computer science and knowledge structure & other general works. When I’m compelled to aquire a bs book in any category, simply because patron demand is high, I prefer it be in the same section as factual information so it may be drowned out a little more. (And I say aquire, instead of purchase, since those types of books I try to rent so they can be returned after it’s been taken out by those requesting it and it never makes its way into our full collection)
I do like the meme though! This format is pretty great and we do indeed need more librarian memes, I don’t mean to get all pedantic here haha

The top text is after only a drink, the middle text is after a few drinks, the bottom text is hammered
thanks - understood the librarian joke but got confused by the format :P

My friend doesn't get it.

Just read a great library based crime thriller and I've been sharing it with everyone.
"How Can I Help You" by Laura Sims. A serial killer and a wannabe writer go head-to-head in a small town library.
