To find the total number of books in the library, you need to multiply the number of books on each bookshelf by the number of full bookshelves.
In this case, each bookshelf holds 82 books, and there are 24 full bookshelves.
So, to find the total number of books, you would multiply 82 by 24 as follows:
82 books/bookshelf x 24 bookshelves = 1968 books
Therefore, there are 1968 books in the library.
