Libraries everywhere are now struggling to compete with ever-tightening government budgets, plus that thing called the internet.
But apparently that does not make them exempt from a bit of gentle banter from professional pranksters Obvious Plant.
These cheeky signs, posing as official notices, have appeared next to book drop-offs at the Los Angeles Public Library.

Whoever’s responsible for these signs clearly has no respect for the sanctity of the written word… and really loves pickles.

One of the signs asks readers to shout ‘not a squirrel’ when opening the flap so that Keith doesn’t have to worry about squirrels stealing his lunch – whoever Keith is.
Another reads: ‘This drop box is for books and pictures of cute boys only!’.
And whatever you do, don’t go inside and ask Cathy about her furry friends.

Like all people who place too much emphasis on reading, she’s lonely and square and probably smells.
If she’s real, that is.
At least they got in a book lover’s in-joke at the expense of the Twilight novels.

That said, they appear to be the only person in the entire universe who hasn’t read Pride And Prejudice.

Perhaps the Pride And Prejudice And Zombies movie will appeal to them more.
