OP While writing my sermon for Easter morning (my sermon for the Great Vigil of Easter tonight is finished), MicroSoft spell-check not only growled at "reshelve" but suggested "reshelf" as the way to fix my misuse. Nonsense.
In my humble opinion, a reshelf job would be one in which workers removed the old shelves and put in new ones. A reshelve job is one in which underpaid minions of the library are seen pushing carts of returned books around and sticking them back where they belong on the shelves.
