Wednesday, September 9

Today, I worked on the Titlewave list again. I also came up with a list of fiction authors in the catalog that needed to be united and simplified, all was discovered while going through the fiction section. And while talking to Mrs. Thompson, I found out about an interesting quote:

A CURSE AGAINST STEALERS OF BOOKS

For him that stealeth a book from this library, let it change into a serpent in his hand & rend him. Let him be struck with palsy, & all his members blasted. Let him languish in pain crying aloud for mercy, & let there be no surcease to his agony till he sink to dissolution. Let bookworms gnaw his entrails in token of the Worm that dieth not, & when at last he goeth to his final punishment, let the flames of hell consume him forever & aye.
