Library Fever:
the illness contracted by spending an excess of 12 hours a day in the library, whereby the infected begins to suffer from behavioural, psychological, neural and musculoskeletal effects. Clinical signs include, but are not limited to: hand-cramping, bouts of extreme panic, manic studying, delusions, paranoia, and random episodes of making crowns out of bits of filler paper, putting a conference pear sticker on it and putting it on to decalre oneself Queen of the Pears. Sufferers have been know to be highly dangerous, and scare small children.
As now known cure exists for this disease, the sufferers have been rounded up and secluded in their own colonies, as was formerly done with lepers, both for their own protection and for the sanity of the rest of the world.
