NEW YORK (AP) - In a field that requires quiet time and attention, two American libraries are competing for which one sorts books and other items faster.

The New York Public Library will try to defend its title as the world’s quickest library-sorting system against Washington state’s King County Library System near Seattle.

The New York Times reported (http://nyti.ms/1MsT8Ey ) that on Tuesday morning, mechanized conveyor belts in both libraries will start rolling for one hour.

In New York, a multimillion-dollar unit dubbed the “Tin Man” sorts bar coded items.

At last year’s fourth annual contest, New York took the title by coming in with 12,570 in an hour - 702 more than the Seattle area crew. The two competitors are tied at 2-2.
