Grimm is handing a stack of books to the female librarian, saying "Excuse me, can I take out these three self-help books?", to which she replies "Of course. It's wonderful seeing a dog trying to improve himself." We then see Grimm using the books as a "ladder" to reach the cookie jar on the top shelf in Mother Goose's kitchen.

Marten Reed: So, why do YOU wanna work in a library?
Claire Augustus: Why WOULDN'T I?
Claire Augustus: Vast collections of knowledge, organized by class and subclass, division and section. Everything in its right place. No distractions, no pointless babbling conversation, no yelling or running around like an idiot. Just peace and quiet.
Claire Augustus: And being a librarian is more than just stamping books and shushing people. A good librarian educates! Enriches their community! Introduces children and adults alike to the wonders of the written word!
Marten Reed: What about you, Gabby?
Gabby: I like books.
Marten Reed: That's it?
Gabby: Yep.
Claire Augustus: Wait- wait up! I like books too!

Sheldon is telling his talking duck Arthur that "The Library of Alexandria was the greatest repository of knowledge in the ancient world. With amazing scrolls gathered from every point on the map. And when the library was destroyed by fire in 48 AD, it was the worst blow to human knowledge in all of history. It was Julius Caesar who accidentally set fire to it, when he--"
Arthur interrupts him, saying "Don't be a chump. Someone like Julius Caesar doesn't ACCIDENTALLY set fire to a library. Think about it."
The final panel flashes back to Julius Caesar carrying an armful of scrolls, screaming at the female librarian "... Late fees?? LATE FEES??"

Carol: I don't know about the future. It's big. I just feel like libraries are so important... and we all need storytime.
Panel #14
Narration: Yeah... We all need storytime.
Happy Mother's Day and congratulations to Carol Race on her retirement!! Love you mom!
