Our browsable shelves are virtually gone. There's nothing left but "popular authors". Even the nonfiction's been stripped bare. It looks like a video store. If you know what you want, you can look it up online, request it, and it'll be in a special section in the front with your name on. So the books ARE somewhere, just not out where you can see them.

I don't know how anybody's ever going to find Elswyth Thane's Williamsburg novels again - I noticed them once on a walkthrough, with their 30's-style covers, and thought they must be pretty good for the library to have kept them so long. They were, and I tracked down a set of my own eventually, but no one will ever see those covers on a walkthrough again, and wonder what's inside. And they're whining for more money so they can have even more computers. Feh. No.
