PSA guys. Listen, I'm not blaming anyone here. But just in case you were thinking about dog-earing the pages of your library books: don't.
Is using a bookmark really that hard?

	What an eyesore. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	I know. Way to ruin a perfectly good page! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	More akin to ruining the whole book. The pages will never lay nice and neat ever again. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kayak_king 2021-03-25 02:53 am UTC (link)
	Exactly. I can try all I want to flatten them, but a folded corner will always leave a bump when the book's closed. It's a damn shame. So you can appreciate proper book-care, eh? Are you a literature aficionado yourself? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Indeed. I am a scholar. Back in my home world I have many texts in my collection. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kayak_king 2021-03-26 02:52 am UTC (link)
	Really? What kind of texts did you have? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	born_of_terra 2021-03-26 05:59 am UTC (link)
	Several. Many were of the magic of my world, bestiaries, history, politics, geography, whatever I deemed interesting enough to want. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	That's amazing! What's the strangest book in your collection? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	What is your definition of strange? (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Thank you. It’s not the end of the world, but I appreciate your honesty. Do you come in regularly? I can print out a custom bookmark for you 😉 (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Next time you come in, say hi and we'll borrow the printer to make you a sheet of cool bookmarks. Oh yeah? What have you been reading? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	wax_wings 2021-03-25 02:39 am UTC (link)
	Cool! Ok! Uh... something about a magic house? I'm not realy sure (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Not sure? Are you sure you're reading closely? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	wax_wings 2021-03-25 04:11 am UTC (link)
	Yeah! It's just hard because there's so many big words. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	What if you don't have a bookmark? Or if you want to save that page forever? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	kayak_king 2021-03-24 06:22 pm UTC (link)
	Then buy your own book to mutilate. The library books are public domain and the next person to check out a volume shouldn’t need to worry about creases. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	locked_away 2021-03-24 07:04 pm UTC (link)
	If this is mutilation then what do you call tearing the pages out of a book? In my opinion a folded bag just goes to show how much time that person spent on that page. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kayak_king 2021-03-25 02:01 am UTC (link)
	A fucking sin? Why would you tear pages out of a book? In my opinion, a folded page means someone was too lazy to get a notecard to mark their spot. If it's your own book, fine. But library books are a different story altogether. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	locked_away 2021-03-25 02:41 am UTC (link)
	So other people can't have them. It's better than burning it. If you get so worked up about the fold just fix it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kayak_king 2021-03-25 03:14 am UTC (link)
	Burning it? You're joking with me. What are you trying to keep from people, military defense plans? If I catch you burning library books, I will personally deliver you the mother of all fines and a sternly worded letter. Like Kuja said, it still leaves a crease. Or in the worst case scenario, tears. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Why would I burn a library book? I don't even go to the library. I was just speaking hypothetically. No I mean, you don't have magic do you. I know a spell that mends things, like folded or torn pages. So I guess I just never really thought of it as a big deal. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kayak_king 2021-03-26 02:11 am UTC (link)
	Thank God. You almost gave me a heart attack. Nope. I'm as ordinary as they come. Some kind of wizard magic like that would be useful, though. But unless someone with a fix-it spell shows up at the library, it's up to some good old-fashioned elbow grease to flatten these creases. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	locked_away 2021-03-26 06:07 am UTC (link)
	Why would you think I'd burn library books? Do people do that here? Oh, I'd offer to teach you, but I think you'd need magic... Is there no magic users at the library? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kayak_king 2021-03-28 08:12 am UTC (link)
	Last month there were phantom trains running through town that may or may not have anything to do with the interdimensional portal. I'm not assuming anything anymore. Yeah, that's a nonstarter. Sure there are, but I haven't noticed them fixing little book creases on my shift. I can understand why, though. Even if they're able to, it can get busy. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	locked_away 2021-03-29 06:47 am UTC (link)
	That is true. I guess I'm just used to some craziness in life. Apparently the internet says to try ironing the page against a flat surface. (Reply to this) (Parent)
