Liz* As i mentioned above, this is the idea innovated by Diana when she took over as librarian. It's not permanent, only 4-5 times a year but without it the apparent reading habits of Haringey citizens would be drastically altered. Now do you understand my point ?
Another 'statistic' altered because of this device is that the authors in the A-D section have suddenly become popular why ? because the A-D section is nearest the checkout desk. When folk get to the checkout they are told that they can hire the DVD for free if they take out 8 books. They take the nearest 8 books to the check out desk which is where the A-D section is in Haringey libraries (go check for yourself). I know this because i did it myself. Simply walk to the nearest bookshelf and count eight (smallest) books off and take them to the counter. The authors on the A-D section haven't become suddenly popular because of their superior prose have they ?
Don't be afraid to give James a Meldrew for this. Pedantry is lovely but "point made".
James, Issac Asimov is the most popular author in Haringey because he is awesome and not because his surname starts with the letter 'A' and the original Foundation series is easy to carry.
