Boolean operators are telephone sellers in other countries. (I think only someone who works in a library would find this funny)

A bibliography is the cast of characters in the Bible. (so cartography would be?)

Books with the letter R on the label are only for people over 18 years old.  (R= Reference, and yes, they are mostly used by that demographic)

Barcodes are put on books so they know who they bilong too.

Literature is long stories in tiny letters with no fun happening.
