Bad behavior in the library

jothelibrarian:

I’ve been beavering away at work so not had much time to catch up with my RSS feeds from the real world (i.e. libraries which aren’t the one I work in!). Today’s favourite read was this gem titled“Theft, vandalism and hatred: 400 years of bad behaviour in the King James Library, part 1” from the University of St Andrews.

A well used copy of John Mairs Brief survey of the terraqueous globe (Edinburgh, 1762).

The blog post is such a great read! Go, now! And sign up to the RSS feed!
