returns since Thanksgiving have been heavy, and the shelves
are crowded. The day after Christmas, we slipped and
shelved nearly 1,500 books. The new year has started with a
bang, with 2,700 books being circulated in four days.

do some publicity first, and we need to move some furniture
and re-arrange the circulation desk area.
