What left the drawer in July: nothing yet, and that is the honest answer, because July was the month the drawer was built. Twenty-nine books were accessioned into the catalog, FL-0001 through FL-0029, each with its typed card. The Reading Pass went up, annual-first. The Cause Ledger switched on, wired so that every book that ever ships gives its dollar onward, and the Bookplate Fund opened with its first blank plates waiting for dedications.
The object of the month, retroactively, is the drawer itself. Everything else the library ever does will pass through it.
