Library Rules
Hey! They have rules here! Observe and absorb...
- No 11th years in the computer room at lunchtime, unless they're
doing revision, which they all are because they're on Study Leave,
unless they want to only check emails, in which case they can only
use machine 12, unless they've booked a space from last term on a
non-drop in machine, unless they want to use a drop in machine
which there are none of now unless they have an R in their name.
And don't even try us at break.
- You have to book into the computer room during lessons, but
then have to book in and out again if you want to stay there for
more than one lesson. You must also
give-your-11-digit-library-card-number-what-do-you-mean-you-can't-remember-it?
We also ask that you give your tutor group in case a unique
reference number such as the above does not tell us exactly who you
are. But of course you didn't bother writing the number down
anyway, did you? Also, no writing in the 'Comments' column.
Breaking this rule may result in extreme forms of death.
- Please read quietly. Reading out loud will also be punished
with death.
- Any books returned after the due date are subject to a
fine. Any books returned on the due time are also subject
to a fine, as we cannot distinguish between it being
exactly on time and it being late.
- No - we don't give change.
- Unless we have any foreign coins we want to get rid of.
- Do not ask for an education as refusal may offend.
- No grey clothes. Clothes must be either black or white, as must
be the facts portrayed to us. No intermediate opinions, no
possibilities, only certainties.
- No use of telnet, but showing initiative is compulsory, as is
utilizing resources to the maximum. No ironic paradoxes.
- Any use whatsoever of the computers will be regarded as
malicious hacking and you will be lectured in an appropriately
monosyllabic and half-stuttering way.
- We reserve the right to let the photocopier eat your cards as
interest on unpaid fines.
- We reserve the right to reserve further rights.
