Alert Library staff will have noticed that a good number of chairs have been stacked up at the end of the Level 5 Staff room. This was in response to a theory that the number of chairs was rising, and cloning was suspected.

There are between 80 to 90 chairs in the staff room, in varying states of repair and comfort. Over the next two weeks, please feel free to remove chairs from those stacked, in order that we may settle on the optimum number of chairs normally required in this room. Also feel free to add any uncomforatable or shabby chairs to the stacked pile.

After a couple of weeks, I will assess the number of chairs to retain, and dispose of the remainder.
