you guys remember those READ posters from the 90s by the American Library Association?

NO I do not

okay HUGE thanks to op for this because when i say i spent my childhood looking for the deep space nine version of this poster i mean it. i'm convinced there MUST have been but came up dry.

i did find these online thanks to @trekcore for those of you of a generation who missed out on these excellent posters being all over your school library

i had the voyager one on my wall and tried to read through all the books to gain extra bonus insight on the characters (grey's anatomy is not a beach read y'all; still can't say why neelix is holding virginia woolf to the lighthouse rather than a cookbook; for a decade my mother thought that this poster indirectly made me bipolar because i was so obsessed with b'elanna that i read the bell jar and became mentally ill by the power of imitation).

Janeway: I cannot date Chakotay because he is a fellow officer and that is wrong

The motherfucking Sisko: My science officer and former father figure is currently dating my starfleet tactical officer, my first officer is dating my chief security officer, and my chief medical officer is dating an ex-fascist spy who makes all my clothes. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I need to call my terrorist-supplier girlfriend in prison.
