It is a library policy that one must wear shoes in the library. Due to health and safety concerns. It's not Okay for the shoes to be even half-off (heels on the floor, feet hovering over the leather) because you're going to the theatre later and you decided to put on your brand new red shoes, so new they are still tight around the edges. No, the shoes must be on all the way, buckles buckled, laces tied. If they're too tight in the toes or your heels are swollen and need a breath of fresh air -- oh no, not here, not in the library, nowhere near the books, in fact, never! You're out of line, bad woman, not a Cinderella, but a stepmother, a wicked sister. Off with your toe! Down with that heel. Where did I leave my butcher knife today?
I wonder what the library policy says about flip-flops.
