Having fun calling things [down, up? I forget which direction..."up" makes more sense] from the stacks?

Up. Yes, it's great. Haven't had to do it much yet though. Most of my books are on open shelves. The ones for my English tutorial I can mostly check out even.

This essay will require more stack requests.
