Librarians are dangerous: A public service announcement by Brad Montague

Dear Enthusiasts,

I write to you today as a concerned citizen.
Many aren’t brave enough to say it, but the time has come. So, I will say it:

Librarians are dangerous.

(Dramatic music should be playing in your head right now.)

You thought they were just keepers of the quiet. Guardians of the “shhh.”
The ones who handed you a dusty book and pointed to a beanbag chair.

Wrong.

The image shows a library card with a humorous title, "LIBRARIANS ARE DANGEROUS" by Brad Montague. The card is yellowed and appears to be from the 1980s, as indicated by the date "1981" at the top. The card has a stamped due date of "2831.9 .H6 R54 1981" and features the repeated phrase "LIBRARIANS ARE DANGEROUS" in bold, emphasizing the title. Below the title, there are sections for the title, date due, and borrower's name. The title is handwritten as "LIBRARIANS ONE DANGEROUS." The date due is also handwritten, and the borrower's name is not filled in. The card includes three hand-drawn illustrations: a menacing figure labeled "MENACE TO APATHY," a person reading a book, and a figure labeled "DANGER!" The card has a playful and humorous tone, reflecting the book's title. Provided by @altbot, generated privately and locally using Ovis2-8B
