We also wish to make it absolutely clear that Librarians should not attempt to use the Library to transport dinosaur eggs. And if they do disregard this rule, under no circumstances should they draw official in-world attention while doing so. In fact, we wish to remind all Librarians that they are here to collect books, not dinosaurs. Those Librarians who have problems distinguishing between the two should take a refresher course in Library basics. . Genevieve Cogman
About This Quote

Palaeontologists are experts at identifying dinosaur eggs, but that does not mean that they will be able to identify an egg that has been transported into the Library. People who transport dinosaur eggs into the Library should expect to be reprimanded and asked to place the egg back in the appropriate place: in their collection. It is not okay to transport dinosaur eggs into the Library, and we hope that everyone will help keep this distinction clear.
