Two Mistakes at This Library Desk: Answer

Did you get it right?

This 1960s public-library checkout desk shows due-date cards, book pockets, a stamp, a pencil tray, a reading lamp, a return cart, and card-catalog details. Two small items are too modern.

Two Mistakes at This Library Desk: Answer

The Answer

The correct answer is: The peel-off adhesive label backing inside one book pocket and the molded plastic pen-cap clip in the pencil tray are the two mistakes.

Here is why

  1. The stamp, book cards, wooden desk, return cart, and old library supplies fit the setting.
  2. Check the paper handling pieces around the book pockets.
  3. The peel-off label backing and molded plastic pen-cap clip are the modern clues.

Why people miss it

Library desks already have many cards, slips, pockets, and pencil pieces, so modern paper and plastic details can hide among the normal supplies.
