I keep hoping that it's all a strange, exotic dream but I'm afraid it's true...
I've just heard Julia and Doreen tell the Assistant Librarians that they can't do a junior stock promotion because "if we end up loaning out all the books then there won't be any for people to borrow."
If the private sector carried on in this way there'd be cash-flow problems all round and companies going bust left, right and centre.

I often wonder why so much fuss is made about getting new books to the library "on the day of publication", or near enough.
After all, once it's on the shelves, if we've bought the right thing, it'll go out. So no-one apart from the person who has it is much the wiser that it was there in first place...
I always love your optimism, Chris!
