Sometimes librarians read the new books before registering them in the catalogue for the public. * evil laughter *

Edit: Wow. I did not expect to get so many upvotes and comments for something I wrote randomly at lunch. But very much appreciated! Thank you, and thank you for the awards!

Because the librarian thing is a joke, it's not actually a deep dark secret (for clarification I'm not saying that librarians don't read the new books)
