Ask the shelf question
Made-up note pair: a reading room had a fixed shelf in 2002 and added a trolley in 2011; no reason given. (1) Read both together. (2) Point, speak/sign/AAC or draw the added feature. (3) Ask a question that could help find out why it was added. Keep it open. About 5–8 minutes; stop sooner if useful.
Grown-up help
do not supply the question then call it independent. A household shelf/photo/history is unnecessary.
