Janet opens up the library and starts working.

After Ethics, Belthazor came to the library, inspecting the mythology shelves.

Marty comes into the library and takes his usual table to do some work.

*Glares at Belthazor from one of the study tables*

*glares at Marty but does not stick out his tongue*

[The Doctor's found Memoirs of a Geisha, finished it, and brought it back. He's now looking for all of the Narnia books, in chronological order because Rhi is a masochist and is waiting for Zero and Parker to rip his head off.]

((SPing for now, FYI.))

With a cheerful wave to Marty, Angela joins Janet behind the desk. "What can I help with today?"

*Makes note of what section Belthazor is in and continues to glare*

*Waves back*

*Probably has goony lovestruck expression on his face*

John enters the library, makes a beeline for Christmas books, and starts randomly doodling Christmas explanation diagrams on notebook paper.

Janet wonders if he's looking for the chronological order the books are written in, or the chronological order they take place in. Or she would if she could read minds. Because for some reason about twelve years ago, publishers changed them from the chronological order they were written in to the order they take place in. And Janet's mun has had hissyfits about it ever since.

Methos finally appears in the library, coffee mug in hand.

Janet grins. "Today? It's Friday. Pretty much we slack unless someone asks us a question directly. Though if we want to look busy, we check in overdue books or start processing new orders. I can show you how to do that."

[swerval_zero]

Oh, you too?

[prof-methos.livejournal.com]

Methos-mun pats Janet-mun and goes WTF? Because you can't *PUT* Horse and His Boy in order unless you split off the last page and a half of L, W&W, and putting The Magician's Nephew first is ENTIRLY missing the point.

[chasingangela]

*looks equally goony, but doesn't leave the library desk*

[janet_fraiser]

OMG, yes! It totally destroys the dramatic tension, when you have to wait until book six to find out that Professor Diggory was actually at the creation of Narnia! And--argh. *glares at publishers*

[janet_fraiser]

Janet raises an eyebrow, but doesn't say anything, just continues to show Angela how to catalog new books.

Suggests that everyone read the essay, "Christian Eye for the Pagan Guy" in this collection (http://www.smartpopbooks.com/download/index.html) because it is an excellent essay about religion in the Narnia books.

[janet_fraiser]

You are such a trill slut. (That was an OOC joke between us. Don't ask.)

[janet_fraiser]

Janet waves at Marty.

[ten-and-chips.livejournal.com]

We did that when I worked at the library, had the new ones that were in 'correct' order.
[If Ten knew what Janet was thinking, he would tell her that it doesn't matter as long as they get read. By him. Soon.
And that he met Lewis once, and that he was kind of a nutjob. And gay. Not that being gay is bad.]

[ten-and-chips.livejournal.com]

[Ten smiles slightly at him and keeps rummaging through the card catalog, pen between his teeth, as if he were to the manor born.]

[janet_fraiser]

*totally has a Narnia fangirl moment and is OMG so counting the days 'til LWW opens*

[ten-and-chips.livejournal.com]

[downloads the collection and has that kind of orgasmic moment that only a pop culture major and a reading freak can have]
