The police were called to a library in Maldon, Essex, because a man was exhibiting 'strange' and 'unexpected' behaviour as he walked past the computer stations: he didn't get out his phone; he headed straight for a book shelf. 'This was the most bizarre thing I have ever seen,' stated a young librarian.
Many people witnessed the man's actions. 'At one point, EVERYONE had looked up from their phone. I thought he might be sleep walking,' said one eyewitness.
Another man, Dave Eldgit, who is a regular visitor to the library, and over sixty, and therefore 'expert' in all things OLD, made this statement, 'back in the day, people WOULD ACTUALLY read books. They'd turn the pages with no bother at all.'
The man who picked out a book insists that he'll 'have his say' but is 'engaged' in talks with his lawyer over the high court case that he is 'mentally unwell': 'it was only because I left my phone at home, so I thought I might as well read a book.'
Meanwhile, the archbishop of Canterbury believes the man is 'a sign': he made a statement this evening: 'this man is sending a powerful message- encouraging people to look at the beautiful world around them and NOT through a smart screen! We should all aspire to be this man.'
