Indeed, to say the least. It certainly adds to the list of unanswered questions.

Weren't there supposed to be people to whom we could address these issues?

I haven't really thought to look. That's pretty strange, though.

Yes - I'm afraid I've never run into such a thing before.

Maybe we just need to check in a different place. A government building, maybe?

Could be - I'm certainly open to suggestions.

That's just a bit odd.

Very! I've never come across anything like this.

I'll keep on looking. Maybe I missed it when we were searching last.

To be fair, I probably wasn't helping much.

Sorry, but some librarians can't be entirely trusted.

Is it that bad? Damn, and I was hoping to check it out.
