They then revealed they had found a slice of tomato in a book before. 

The tweet has since sparked a wave of witty responses as other wade in to share their peculiar bookmarks and cheese puns. 

Radio One host Greg James shared the post to his 1.6m followers, while the University of East Anglia Library tweeted: 'If only students would handle library books more caerphilly.'

Liverpool University Support Centre replied: 'You gouda brie kidding!'

A staff member from the Sherwood Forest Hospitals Library said they once found a customer using a rasher of bacon as a bookmark. 

Blackwells library said: 'BTW we have free bookmarks in-store if anyone needs one and to prevent people using a cheese slice.'

One Twitter user added: 'Book was loaned to Gordon Zola', and another quipped: 'Perhaps they were reading Jane Gruyere.'

And one former library worker said: 'After over 30 years in libraries, this is a new one.

'I've had a rasher of streaky bacon (raw), a condom (in its packaging, fortunately) a slice of toast (buttered) and £85 in notes. Separate occasions/customers.

'I managed to track down the owner of the cash and return it.'
