This month’s Crocodile Mystery presents you with an object that is used in the library, but is not part of the library collection itself.
Please reply with a comment to share what you think it’s for and how it’s used. Alternatively, share a completely made-up purpose for it and try to convince us you’re right. We’re happy either way.

It looks to me to be a spacer or set on the short side to be against books to keep them from falling over on the shelf.
