What about those rubber gloves that medical people wear? You can barely see them when someone has them on.

Or what about holding a kleenex in your hand casually and handing the book only with that? If you're slick enough about it no one would think a thing about it. In fact, I doubt anyone will be paying much attention to you in the library. They'll be reading or whatever. If you do things with enough aplomb, you can get away with almost anything I sometimes think.

As for my reputation, my advisor told me if I dropped out, I wouldn't be "in good standing" with the college.
What does that mean exactly? Is it just some kind of status they use internally that will go away after you've successfully completed a semester or something like that?
