WORD OF THE WEEK: BIBLIOKLEPT

Here's our last installment from A.Word.A.Day, available at this address:

http://www.wordsmith.org/awad/index.html

biblioklept (BIB-lee-uh-klept) noun
A person who steals books.
[Biblio- book + Greek klept thief.]

"Towards the Persons who frequent your Library maintain a courteous Demeanour, but the utmost Vigilance. For as it is your duty to guard well the Books which are the Riches of your Treasury, so you cannot afford to relax those Restrictions which may save you from Despoilment and the most grievous Loss. The Biblioklept or Thief of Books is your eternal Foe." Charles Robinson, April hath 30 days, Library Administrator's Digest Mar 1, 2000.
