Mayfield really is getting far too predictable. You can almost estimate the time of when it'll start being active again if there isn't a holiday around to appease it. These censuses remind me far too much of what happened at Christmas Time and I doubt any of us want a repeat

[ Ilsa's gotten to know what to look for in a librarian, for the most part, but she thinks she's found out how to tell for sure. ]

Excuse me, but which of Dr Benjamin Spock's books do you have?

[ If it's a drone, they are likely to tell her Dr Spock is a charlatan, and shift her to the more traditional childcare books. ]

I believe, if any, we only have his first. The others come much later in history to be on the shelves here, I'm afraid.

[ She sighs in relief, ] Good, you're aware. I'm Ilsa Higa, new to town. I wondered if anyone had done a full study of what is here, to see what the town wants us to know? Especially if there's more than one person doing the review, and comparing their impressions?

That's difficult, in all honesty. We'd have to have someone in every age group and gender looking over the titles of the book. They're different depending, which makes working here a right pain most days.

I started reviewing the kid's schoolbooks, and that was a surprise. There's stuff I remember differently, but part of it was having editions that were written almost fifty years later, when I was in school.

[ Ilsa pulls a small notebook form her purse, and flips it open to the list of titles. ]

I've been working my way through the women's section. I've caught a few deletions and re-wordings in some of the cookbooks I'm familiar with, but mostly it looks like someone is guiding towards the lowest common denominator, and fairly bland.
