Don't change you number

This week Unshelved started with a rather unassuming story arc about gathering statistics.
But yesterday and today, they really are after my heart. Let’s see how long they can continue with the Tommy Tutone 24 years after the fact. I’m rooting for them!

    So he requested that phone number for their new line? Is that what happened? I'm confused.

    libraries often have to prove their worth. and since you can't measure satisfaction and the amount of knowledge spread to the outside world, statistics are the best compromise. So, the more calls, the more worth the library has, even if they're not really library related. And, numbers like that are how budgets are aportioned.
