Step away from that microwave.
In the past couple of months, it's probably safe to say that we've all improved our skills with our microwaves—that, or we've just become a lot less selective about what we're willing to cook in one. Althoughis surprisingly great, and mug cakes are an unmistakable form of self-care, some librarians have had to ask that we stop quick-cooking our library books.
The Kent District Library in Grand Rapids, Michigan, has apparently received a couple of scorched hardbacks, after some, uh, well-meaning patrons tried to avoid the pandemic by microwaving the books. "Reminder that KDL will quarantine returned materials for 72 hours," the library wrote on Facebook. "The pictures below show what will happen, when you try microwaving a book. The radio frequency tags in all KDL materials have metal in them. They will catch on fire in the microwave.
This isn't the first food-related challenge that eternally hard-working librarians have had to contend with lately. In January, the University of Liverpool Library tweeted a picture of a cellophane-wrapped cheese slice that had been found inside a library book. "This is not a bookmark," the library tweeted, and honestly, you can almost hear the heavy sigh that accompanied that sentence.
