no hats and sunglasses?

I wish my library had these! lol

#7 is kind of hilarious… we will prosecute you for stealing from us… but will gladly help, and profit (library’s usually charge for copies) from your theft from others. (namely the magazine publishers)
Just saying if they suggested this solution to music, RIAA would send a hit squad.

Most of these are boring signs that are in every library.
But #17. I relate to this so much. I work at the library, and I want to strangle every person who ever reshelves a book. When I see a kid throwing books off a shelf, I find it mildly annoying, maybe even cute. When I see the parent putting the books back in COMPLETELY RANDOM PLACES, that’s when I get furious.
So… there was your library PSA for the day.

The reason libraries have to use this seemingly bitchy strategy (besides the fact that most librarians are bitches) is that there is a huge number of homeless people who gravitate towards libbies.

Oh, wait. Because they’ve included the word “please” these are passive aggressive? I GET IT NOW. Yawn.

Can someone please tell me the definition of passive-aggressive? Because, after reading some of these, I’m starting to wonder if I’m wrong or this post needs a different title.

most of these aren’t even creative..

I met one of my best friends in a library! We had to copy a book for class because we could not take the actual book out of the library.

This is one that was circulation on a library listserv I’m on! rochellejustrochelle.typepad.com/copilot/files/11.doc

#13 - who keeps multiple open containers of water on the same surface on which they work with archival materials!? and then blames other people when they spill? A+

This needs to go on passiveaggressivenotes.com!

Having worked at libraries, I just have to say, if you’ve ever seen a public computer keyboard…some of those signs, nuts as they are, are obvious. If 1000+ people a month could eat AND type… O_o And do not CHEW on the headphone cords? Really? That actually had to be posted? That’s slightly disconcerting.

#18 harry potter reference FTW!

I wish the libraries I’ve worked in had signs like this around! They forgot a sign about not watching porn on computers in public areas though o_0

#18 is the best one, in my opinion.

#10 should be a law. Not just in libraries, everywhere.
