Not in Their Good Books

Staff at a UK library were left with a ‘nightmare’ job after a wellmeaning cleaner restacked the bookshelves in order of book size after cleaning them. The staff at Newmarket Library in Suffolk discovered the shelves lined with books arranged from largest to smallest – and their alphabetical organising system upended. The building was undergoing a deep clean while it was shut due to the COVID-19 pandemic. “It looks like libraries will be closed for a while so we’ll have plenty of time to sort the books out,” a library spokesman said at the time, noting workers found humour in the mishap.
