Actually, no. "small booger" would be _moquito_ in spanish.

Look, as an English only speaker I don't care - I'm still stuck at "Haw haw, small booger library!"
Fair. The spelling is off, but the pronunciation is the same.
I'm Spanish and subconsciously pronounced the library as MOCKito, as opposed to moQUIto.
I’m bilingual(ish) and while I’ve always pronounced it MOCKito, I think I may start pronouncing it moQUIto instead now.
