Library revisited

I met with the head librarian for the foreign language section of our public library today. As I had hoped, she remembered me well, and we talked a while about books and things. And we struck a deal.
Since I am in London this coming week, I will bring her a handful of new Christmas books, and for that, I will get first pick of all the books they have to get rid of for reasons of space. They only have Christmassy books from fifteen to twenty years ago. I was planning on hitting the bookshops anyway, so this sounded good to me.
