Machida Sawako, nicknamed Miss Bernard, frequents the school library and always seems to have a book in her hands... but while she longs to be an avid reader, she finds reading to be too much work.
The school librarian, Hasegawa Sumika, is interested in Endou, so she tries to strike up a conversation about the book he's reading. Elsewhere in the library, Sawako asks Shiori for some sci-fi recommendations.
Sawako wonders what would be the correct approach to the works of the author Murakami Haruki.
The gang helps Sumika design some "pop" signs to draw attention to their favorite books in the library.
Shiori teaches Sawako about Japan's three greatest mystery novels.
