sign, there - it's your library, you can make any rule you want.
"Don't read the books" could be another one.
But no signs, no warnings, just an open invitation and resources to
do schoolwork - it was clearly a trap to get me in trouble.
And all these years later, I still don't understand why research and
schoolwork are not allowed in the library.
"No fighting in the war room!"
I would've approached it in a different way. I would have talked back.
I would have been sent to the principal. The principal *might* have
given me detention, in which case my father would have dropped our
lawyers on the school.
