You only have a few days before the Mayor’s Official Inspector comes tojudge your library, so be sure your assistants have all your books shelved intime! She is a tough cookie, and will use her Official Inspection Form to gradeyour library on several criteria including alphabetical order, shelf stability,prominent works, and variety.
