We all know that libraries are homes to thousands of books and the silence inside a library gives an aura of peacefulness and tranquility.

A librarian from Scotland named Mel (@grumpwitch) used her workplace as an opportunity to do some sociological research. She shared her observations about the things she learned while working in a library on Twitter and most of her thoughts are not about books.

“I was waiting for the kettle to boil while I made dinner one evening and I’d been chatting with my colleague about the strange and random things we’d learned in this job,” she said.

“So I started tweeting them out without any sort of thought about order or structure, just as they came to my head. I figured a few of my fellow library assistants would relate. If I’d known how big it would become, I’d have proofread them first!” she told Bored Panda.
