Shelving books incorrectly is as good as stealing them. It's almost worse.

About This Quote

Shelving a book incorrectly is as bad as stealing. It's almost worse. What you can do, however, is to simply return a book to the library and not read it. When you take a book out of the library, it is as if you stole it from the library, but you can simply return it as if you've found it.
