"The first baby arrived on the mail plane, the second two on the ferry, the fourth asleep on a pile of nets, smelling of mackerel. Who were the babies? Where did they come from? The notes left with them said 'Please keep this baby safe' and 'Please give my child shelter.' Only the librarian can take them home, and the library is where they grow up.
