Flying the national flag at half-mast

With so many tragedies around the world and smaller ones at the local or household level, it is hard to remember which one it being acknowledged in front of the Hita City Library on this morning. The building itself is closed for a week of shelf-reading: all staff working through the shelves to make sure the sequence of book classification are in correct order. Sometimes there is an error just one book away. But other times a book has been missing from the system and not left the building. This comprehensive annual quality control often captures wayward books far from their home shelf.

I got this book case for my birthday and was pleased to finally be able to put all my poetry books in one place!

It may seem counterintuitive to ask readers to leave library books laying around instead of putting them back. But having spent many hours in shelfreading I can confirm that it's really less trouble in the long run.
