Improved Ocean Road centre set to receive more ‘international’ patients
A reader saw this notice posted on the wall of a school library. We agree that, besides the numerous linguistic challenges, the repetitive use of the word LIBRARY should have been avoided. Our suggestion is: Library materials must be handled with care/Borrowed books must be returned on time/Theft of library materials will not be tolerated. Trust signwriters! PHOTO | COURTESY
