Please don't bring books to the space unless they are on our [[Library Wishlist]] or they are a more recent edition of a book already on our shelves. If you have a book that you think may be useful that does not fall into these categories, please post on the mailing list. | |||
Put the book in the green basket by the shelves for the librarian to add. If the basket is not there, set them next to the shelves. | |||
(It's not that we don't want awesome books: we just want to avoid being buried in them!) | |||
