In a most disturbing development a notorious bibliophile was recently spotted cruising our local Public Information Environment. Shocked citizens called for action by the council as they witnessed this person try to touch and handle volumes of all shapes and sizes, even attempting to remove some for their own private viewing. Officials from the Information Service tried to direct this misguided individual towards the interactive screens and ebooks provided but to no avail. The individual insisted that they wanted to borrow a Basis Of Organised Knowledge, or "book" but a google for this particular practice showed no meaningful results.

After the individual had been removed by officers of the Public Correction brigade a senior councillor warned the public to be vigilant against latent bibliophiliac tendencies:- "Sadly the condition is incurable, and those afflicted by it will spend hours gazing at these so-called 'Bases Of Organised Knowledge', repeatedly touching them with their dirty hands and even fingering the internal parts. Some perpetrators claim to be followers of an obscure sect founded by a certain Ray Bradbury, but most of them are simply addicted to script."
