“Fed up with having to spend a month a year putting wayward items from their collection of 1.6 million volumes and manuscripts back where they belong, the custodians of the Vatican library are tagging them with microchips. The entire public section is expected to be completed by the end of the year. “The way things are now, if a book is not in its right place, it’s as good as lost,” Ambrogio Piazzoni, the deputy prefect of the library, said.”
