Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request.

### Instruction:
In a library, three students - Anna, Brian, and Claire - are studying together. They each have a different colored notebook: Anna's is purple, Brian's is black, and Claire's is pink. They take a break and leave their notebooks on the table. While they're gone, another student accidentally spills coffee on the table, soaking all three notebooks. The librarian quickly moves the wet notebooks to a nearby shelf and replaces them with identical dry ones in the same colors. When the students return, what do they think happened to their original notebooks? Provide a brief response.

When Anna, Brian, and Claire return from their break, they may initially not notice anything amiss because the librarian has replaced their notebooks with identical dry ones in the same colors. If none of their personal belongings or notes were left outside their notebooks, and if the replacement notebooks are truly indistinguishable from their own, they may simply sit down and continue studying.

However, if they had left the notebooks open to specific pages or had unique markings, notes, or wear on them, upon closer inspection, they might notice that the contents or the state of the notebooks don't match their memories of them before they left. This could lead them to conclude that their original notebooks have been replaced.

The realization that something happened to their original notebooks may prompt them to ask the librarian or look around the area for an explanation. If they speak to the librarian or notice the coffee spill and the nearby shelf with the wet notebooks, they would then understand that their notebooks were damaged by the spill and subsequently replaced by the librarian.
