Here ya go. And I'm very sorry to have kept the book out for this long.You think because you're a princess, the rules don't apply to you, that you're somehow above the law.Certainly not!Well, let me tell you something, crown-girl. Y'know that little stamp, the one that says "Canterlot Public Library"? Well that may not mean anything to you, but that means a lot to me, one whole Tartarus of a lot.uh…Sure, go ahead, laugh if you want to. I've seen your type before: Flashy, makin' the scene, flaunting convention. Yeah, I know what you're thinking: "What's this guy making such a big stink about old library books?" Well, let me give you a hint, junior! Maybe we can live without libraries, people like you and me. Maybe. Sure, we're too old to change the world. But what about that foal, sitting down, opening a book, right now, in a branch at the local library and finding drawings of…pee-pees and wee-wees on the Cat in the Hat and the Five Chineighse Brothers? Doesn't he deserve better? Look. If you think this is about overdue fines and missing books, you'd better think again. This is about that kid's right to read a book without getting his mind warped! Or…maybe that turns you on, Sparkle. Maybe that's how you get your kicks. You and your good-time buddies. Well I got a flash for ya, don't-care-mare: party time is over.
