The only question, Mister Rapaire, is that you say you were stringing barb wire around the library, and I have to ask for the record -- what the hell for? To keep the reference books from escaping? All you have to do is figure out which one is the lead reference figure -- it is usually one of the older encyclopediae or the largest dictionary -- and tether that one to a shelf. All the other reference books will stay relatively close to the primary work, and you won't need to be messing about with no bobwahr.
