WHEN LIBRARIANS GO BAD

TOP MOST-WANTED LIBRARIANS

Trachoma, Wyoming
Interfering with a person's computer access or use. On April 21, duty librarian Apostropole was captured on CCTV asking a group of teenagers to step away from the keyboard and surrender their computer passes.

Papilloma, New Mexico
Accepting an unauthorized payment whilst holding public office.Following the organization of an Author Talk, Plate was presented with a boxed collector's set of the author's work. On investigation, the books were found three months later amongst the cataloging backlog, caused by the staff reductions due to budget cuts.


John Eric Oldman
Anthrax, West Virginia
Disturbing the peace. Also known as 'Johnny' Oldman. After reading an illicitly received email joke, Oldman was heard to laugh loudly a number of times. During the library's opening hours on October 27, he repeated the joke at least three times, causing a number of members of the public to laugh loudly in the library. Complaints are still being received by the Library Board.

Agents intercepted Armani as he attempted to leave the library where he was The Administrator, as he had set off a metal detecting device.

Repeat offender - asking awkward questions of bureaucrats in public meetings; refusal to undertake insurance fraud in the case of books borrowed by said bureaurocrats and then lost by same; causing large numbers of librarians to laugh at ridiculous but unfortunately common situations; causing confusion to humor-deficient colleagues.


Note: The first 10 images above are of actual criminals wanted by various authorities.
Do not approach any of these people, but inform your local police department.
No-one is interested in the last-named of the above.
