Place JANUARY, FEBRUARY, MARCH, APRIL, MAY, JUNE, JULY, AUGUST, SEPTEMBER, OCTOBER, NOVEMBER, DECEMBER, into the grid. The sequence will snake around, but cannot go diagonally, nor cross itself.
Hint
As we don't know how of the people were library members, you can try a random number and see what happens.
Answer
4,200 books.
Reasoning
It doesn't matter how many library members there were, as 1/2 of them accepted the books, and each accepted 6 books, which is 3 books per member on average.
Similarly, it doesn't matter how many non-members there were as 3/4 of them accepted the books, and each accepted 4 books, which is again 3 books per non-member on average.
Double-Checking
Both the members and non-members accepted, on average, 3 books each.
