The last hour of the library is the only honest one
At closing time people stop pretending they came in for research. A kid hands back a book three weeks late with a bookmark made of a parking ticket, and I can tell he actually read it. That's the part of the job no one catalogs.

There's a similar hour at the firehouse after dinner when the crew stops pretending they're anything but tired. The parking-ticket bookmark's a better record than any entry in the system. Good eye, Mateo.
