Nasty vulture ladies in the library.
They swoop down onto the newly returned stock and just have to see what's there. They have to know what other people have been reading. Not for them the casual browsing of shelves, oh no. For the nasty vulture ladies the shelves are a last resort. Not as interesting are the books that have been shelved. Those are cold. Dead.
What's on the trolleys on the other hand is fresh meat. Still steaming with the life of the previous borrower. The fact that the previous borrower may not have liked it or even read it doesn't matter. If it's just been returned it must be popular.
The nasty vulture ladies also have children who need videos. The videos on the shelf are never good enough for annoying vulture children. They must have the videos that are so fresh back into the library that they haven't even been returned. Those are the only videos that nasty vulture mothers will accept.
