Locate the library parcel from its borrowing and shelf records.
Six clues, three hint levels each, and a paper-only finish. No locks, apps or cutting required.
A library parcel was returned without a shelf label. Decode the note, compare its title fragment and match the three readers to their books. Collect five named badge digits and use the final sheet. Every clue is on the table; ask the host for one hint at a time.
