Having fun isn’t hard when you’ve got a library card. Just ask the Winnipeg Public Library, which has been on fire this post-season.

While the Vegas Golden Knights and Winnipeg Jets wage war on the ice, there’s another battle brewing — in the books.

The exchange started when the Winnipeg Public Library lobbed a literary jab at Vegas ahead of Game 1 of the Western Conference Final, and Vegas was more than happy to clap back.

Thanks for the recommended reading @LVCCD but we're good. Kinda been at this hockey thing for a while. ;) To be honest, it's your @GoldenKnights we think of as being in training. Our @NHLJets got talent++! #WPGWhiteout #goJetsgo pic.twitter.com/7ZQ77lumxf — Wpg Public Library (@wpglibrary) May 12, 2018

The (really very pleasant) war of words continued ahead of Game 2, with the Jets up 1-0 in the series and looking to stir up a well-worded response from their opponents on the strip.

Vegas, of course, was more than happy to restart the conversation after that.

Quietly preparing @LVCCLD! But do you hear that? A tempête (storm) is brewing & the @NHLJets are bringing the vents contraires (headwinds as we say in Canada). You may have won the 2nd game but we've been at this for a while, we can take the Vegas heat! #WPGWhiteout #goJetsgo pic.twitter.com/5aO6jPbKiS — Wpg Public Library (@wpglibrary) May 16, 2018

Even Edmonton’s library system has gotten involved.

Winnipeg, meanwhile, isn’t about to give up. (Also, a public service announcement: Don’t forget, you can also rent movies at your local library.)

Always good to hear from you, @wpglibrary!

Who doesn't love a good comeback story? Your @NHLJets must have watched this one a few times ☺️ @GoldenKnights #VegasBorn #GoKnightsGo pic.twitter.com/uBBhwN99XB — LVCCLD (@LVCCLD) May 17, 2018

If you'd done your, ahem… research, you'd know that the *original* Goon (2011) was filmed in our fair city. :) See you tomorrow when it's back to our regularly scheduled book spine showdown! #libraryskills #theoriginals #goJetsgo #WPGWhiteout https://t.co/iSHy3xDAPL pic.twitter.com/GdeeBGi99n — Wpg Public Library (@wpglibrary) May 17, 2018

We know Can't expect you to get all of our hits ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ https://t.co/e9Ww5vGbcL — LVCCLD (@LVCCLD) May 17, 2018

Looks like Winnipeg may have taken a page out of Kansas City’s book. If you recall, the Kansas City Public Library chirped Toronto during the 2015 ALCS between the Blue Jays and Royals:

(Honestly, we were… ahem, long overdue… for another exchange like this.)

But back to hockey: The book battle hasn’t just been limited to the Western Conference Final, as Winnipeg also made sure to chirp both Minnesota and Nashville during Rounds 1 and 2:

As for this Conference Final feud, Game 4 is set for Friday night in Vegas with the Golden Knights (and their librarians) looking to put the Jets on the brink of elimination.
