Are you a librarian at heart? Do you have what it takes to work in a library? This game is your test! The point of the game is simple: put the books in order--but any librarian will tell you that's not as simple as it sounds. The game is iPod/iPhone/iPad compatible.

Shelving books may not sound very sporty, but if you have ever wondered how fast can you shelve a cart of books, then there’s now an app for that. The game features three different modes of play: LOC, Dewey, and Alphabetical.
