This sign is really charming. I think you're supposed to imagine a librarian of your choosing saying whichever statement she comes with. Thanks, Rachel and friend who spotted this in a Harvard library.
I think what happened here is, whoever made the sign interviewed two librarians and got two different answers, and so (to cover all the bases) decided to put both "policies" on the sign, verbatim.
A Harvard library? Really? Harvard. Shouldn't they know better?
ReplyDeleteHarvard? As in "university"?!
ReplyDeleteWow, at the Harvard Library? That's... isn't a major grammatical error by a Harvard Librarian one of the signs of the Apocalypse?
ReplyDeleteI love that this was found at a Harvard Library! Obviously not at the School of Literature.
ReplyDeleteMust be the Library at Harvard Pre-School...
ReplyDeleteIt seems that all of the chairs must occupy a single rightful place.
ReplyDeleteHarvard... there just isn't a good enough punch line for that...
