Ministry of Reshelving

The Ministry of Reshelving is moving copies of Orwell's 1984 from the Fiction section to what they consider to be more appropriate sections: current events, true crime, politics, etc.  It is an interesting way to make a political statement, indeed.  And the revolution has pictures! 

I wonder, though, if the Ministry will expand into libraries.  I know it would be an irritation to shelvers, but political statements and libraries go together hand in hand, so why not?

I still think it's cool. Sorry "The Wizard."

This is...extremely unimpressive.

Actually, if you check the comments in the "Friends & Allies" thread on the Ministry Flickr website, it has expanded to libraries, and the reaction from librarians has been surprisingly positive.
