It's back! When I checked the fiction shelf at approximately 4:30 this afternoon, there were copies of Scoop, Vile Bodies, Put Out More Flags, Unconditional Surrender, and three copies of Brideshead Revisited. I guess the patrons, probably acting according to the hive mind, decided to go Waugh-crazy again. Note the three copies of Brideshead Revisited. Three. This is what leads me to believe that it was multiple patrons, not just one.
And, since this subject doesn't appear to be as obvious as I had always thought it was...

Thank you. This was incredibly useful, as I have a tendency to go to libraries and bring a friend rather than my driver's license. Friends just fit better in my purse.
I miss you.
