Library, Monday

[faithandscience.livejournal.com]

The first day of a new semester was always a good one. New classes were full of such possibility, William could hardly wait until he had his first class. Which wasn't until later in the week. He wasn't the only one eager to begin the term, apparently. There was a pile of physics textbooks waiting on the circulation desk, which he put away... only to find them sitting on the desk once again a few minutes later.

"It doesn't work like that," William tried to explain. "You're to wait until someone checks you out."
