Jimmy Buffett (musician, philosopher) wrote a song called Love in the Library. Here are some of the lyrics.
Love In The Library
Jimmy Buffett, Mac McAnally
Love in the library, quiet and cool
Love in the library, there are no rules
Surrounded by stories surreal and sublime
I fell in love in the library once upon a time
So today I'm reading a story in the Chicago Tribune ..........
Teen sex in suburban library spurs charges
Tribune staff report
March 1, 2007, 9:06 PM CST
Police credited a staff member for spotting two teenagers having sex in the Woodstock Public Library, authorities said Thursday. Raul A. Tapia, 19, of the 700 block of Oak Street, Woodstock, was charged Monday with criminal sexual abuse for having consensual sex with a 16-year-old girl, a crime punishable by up to a year in jail, police said." The vigilance of the [library] staff led to the arrest," Woodstock Police Sgt. Richard Johns said. Authorities wouldn't say where the alleged incident occurred, other than that it wasn't in a restroom." It was a less-visited area," said Martha Hansen, network administrator for the library. "I can't give any details but it was an extremely isolated incident, and we're confident it won't happen again."
Tapia posted $100 bail.

Obviously Mr. Tapia had not hear another song Jimmy Buffett wrote, called Livingston Saturday Night. There's one pertinent line in that song ........
Fifteen may get you twenty ...
Next time check her ID
And now -- looking at the weather forecast for the next few days I'll leave you with one of my favorite song AND one of my favorite libations ...
Boat Drinks
I know I should be leaving this climate.
I got a verse but can't rhyme it.
I gotta go where it's warm.
Boat drinks.
Waitress, I need two more boat drinks.
Then I'm headin south 'fore my dream shrinks.
I gotta where it's warm.
I gotta go where it's warm.
I gotta go where it's warm.
I gotta go where there ain't any snow,
where there ain't any blow,
'cause my fin sinks so low.
I gotta go where it's warm.
P.S. personal note to Crem -- I'm thinking I'm needing me some lime juice, I'm just sayin'
