      1. Everything else aside, it's interesting how information has been distorted as that story about reshelving books has propogated. The BBC News story says that "all" the library's books were reshelved in size order. The original tweet clearly says that 18.5 bays were reshelved.

      But based on the photo on BBC News and a moment's thought about the logistics of reshelving books, I suspect even that is slightly inaccurate. I suspect (and I may be wrong) that what is meant was that 18.5 bays of books had /each shelf/ rearranged into size order.

    As a small tweet among friends, who cares about a slight (I conjecture) inaccuracy in choice of words? But as it's gone viral, that inaccuracy has expanded such that the story now being shared is of a whole library's books being reshelved in size order.
