Summary

0010056: Military Dwarves bring books to job, then haul them back

Description

After I'd gotten a library of a certain size, I noticed that military dwarves hang out there and read. This presented one problem:

When I select a military squad to go and do something - or even when they automatically do something such as meeting for a sparring session, these dwarves coming from the library will haul the book they've been reading all the time. Meaning they make a pointless trip to their new destination, realize that they have a book and haul it back to the libary. This happens every time. This makes these particular dwarves useless and results in a massive waste of time, especially if you designate something for the squad to do that's a fair distance away.

Steps To Reproduce

1. Build a well-stocked library.
2. Have a military squad or several
3. Wait for a number of military dwarves to go to the libary.
4. Assign your squad(s) to station some place.
