About the game
Library Shelver is a calm but busy day behind the desk of a small library run for animal patrons. Returned books pile onto the cart, each with a coloured section and a number. Put every book in its own section and in number order, then help the cat, the bear and the rabbit at the counter by finding the exact book they ask for.
The catch is that a wrong placement makes no fuss at all. The book simply slides in. Hours later a patron asks for it, a red question mark appears where it should be, and you have to hunt the shelves while their patience runs out. The owl on the night shift leaves a few strays too. Tapping an out-of-place book pulls it back onto the cart so you can fix it. Over 25 days you get more sections, longer shelves and busier counters. Three stars mean no angry patrons and a clean audit at closing.
