Ah, so the pagelings now have aerial support*. Excellent! I’m guessing the guy on the far right is commander of the airborne division.
ETA: oops. I forgot they can transform into paper airplanes. Man, that was a fun ep.

“…they still use fabric made from animal skin, imported from Imperial Russia, to cover the original 18th-century tables, protecting them from scat left by the library’s flying residents.”
So, “scat” when we like the bats, and “shit” when we don’t.

I liked bats, was okay with having some living in a small void on the outside of my house.
Then I learned about bat bugs, which were able to find their way inside, even though the bats could not. The void in question has been sealed up. No more bats.

The librarians never need to buy fertilizer for their gardens, that’s for sure.

Bug zappers are not cool. Scholarly bats living in the library are cool. Librarians are cool. Therefore, librarians are going to go with the bats over the bug zappers.

Crazy idea here: maybe close the windows instead so the bugs can’t get in?
