Thou shalt not forget that the library closeth at the times listed and that the library staff needeth time off for refreshment and relaxation—five days shalt they labor and do all their work. 3. Thou shalt not attempt to check out books without thine— and thine only—current I.D. card (no keys, meal tickets, credit cards etc). 4. Thou shalt not keep library materials past the date due, for thy librarian is a jealous librarian, guarding the needs of the many FEATURE against the covetousness of the carefree few. 5. Thou shalt keep the library informed of thy current address in case thou breaketh commandment four and incurreth wrath and overdue fines. 6. Thou shalt maintain a studious manner in the library, remembering that others needeth peace and quiet. 7. Thou shalt not bring food in to the inner sanctum. 8.
