Ch4964: Every Volume Weighed
The old room is given over to bean-drying. Nyra empties the full wall into a basket and weighs every volume for the smaller wall-pockets: what stays is what earns its keep by use, not by habit. The girl watches the sorting and learns that a library is a set of choices, not a monument.

Why it matters on the desk
Earthbound continues the quiet pedagogy arc: the girl learns craft, judgment, and ownership of her own record under Nyra’s hand. Ch4964 is contiguous with the streak through Ch4963 (tip 6109, streak 848). Desking it keeps the investigative trail honest for readers who will not open the raw chapter HTML.
