Norwegian term or phrase: gjennomstriglet og snorrett alle vegner
This is describing the set up of a library. The full sentence is:

"Nå betyr ikke de strenge prinsippene fra «Open the book» at alt i Grimstad Bibliotek er gjennomstriglet og snorrett alle vegner."

Any ideas on how to express this?

Explanation:
While this question does not strictly adhere to the Proz.com regulations of "one word per query", it seems fair enough to me that the whole phrase is necessary in this instance!

"Opening the book" - not "Open the book" as in the quotation and in the original document ( http://www.bseurobib.no/Inspirasjon/Biblioteksoner/Nye Grims... ) - is a leading UK supplier of library furniture for public libraries, academic libraries and the school library.
