Kids:

Stop.
Stop playing tag in a library

This is a library:
Derived from the word liber for "book",
Not currere for "run"

You don't run in a library -
Don't run in a library

There are people trying to work;
They're trying to work and you're running.
You're loud,
And obnoxious,
And kids.

Kids play outside -
Go play outside, kids.

Stop playing tag in the library.

I really like this. It simply captures the frustration of trying to work and someone or something is bothering you.
