The Wild Librarian

"You see, I don't believe that libraries should be drab places where people sit in silence, and that's been the main reason for our policy of employing wild animals as librarians." --Gorilla Librarian sketch, Monty Python's Flying Circus TV Show, Episode 10

What the?

Please tell me how you can possibly mis-shelve a LC classified book in a Dewey library? Wouldn't you notice something DIFFERENT? Shouldn't you?

A friend of mine at a nearby library uses the Dewey system and recently found another library's LC book on their shelf. It originally had been an ILL requested item that must have been mis-placed and then shelved at the library. Still I ask: Wouldn't you notice something DIFFERENT about the call number?

I shan't worry, as this is not, and will not be the only time that ever happened.
