This might be due to some deeply repressed trauma in my youth.
More likely, though, it's due to the fact that at any given moment, Wanted! posters with my picture on them adorn the quiet walls of at least half a dozen libraries. Late books. Unpaid fines. Tardy renewals. Capital crimes in library land.
(Quick count - five libraries, currently. OK, it's been a better month than most...)
However, Tony showed me an article in the latest Wednesday Paper reporting on some of our Librarians who've clearly been up to things other than harrumphing loudly when someone's cellphone goes off among the holy shelves. Two of whom are a familiar presence on this very blogspot!
Well done, guys - it's great to see quality being recognised and acknowledged.
Now, I'll slink off quietly with a paper bag over my head, if you'll excuse me...
