Brilliant!
And it had librarians everywhere nodding in agreement.

I love that so many responses to this are people asking their friends who work in libraries/bookstores "did this ever happen to you?" (The answer is always yes.)
Or, saying to those friends "you should totally make a display like this!"

My proudest moment was working in an episcopal library of 200,000 books, someone asked for 'that book about bishops with a yellow cover' and I got it straight away *even though it was purple*

Lolz my library did this too. I took a photo because we used to get this question all the time when I worked at a bookstore. pic.twitter.com/QDeZ8hvG0W

I used to work in a bookshop and you'd get ''they were talking about it on [insert tv/radio show here] yesterday."
We eventually managed to have a list compiled of books that were talked about on major radio stations each week.— Medbh Peavoy (@AgedPineapple) February 5, 2018

Not unlike working in a record store (millennials: these were places that sold music recorded onto compact discs that you would play individually). “What’s that song on the radio that goes hmmm hmmm do do do whaa whaa”

Only a Gen X would define a record store as “places that sold music recorded onto compact discs.”
See, there used to be these things called “records” which were pressed vinyl disc, small ones called singles or 45s and big ones called LPs. A few had 78s, but those were rare.

Steady on people, let’s just appreciate the library thing for now. Thanks.
