i forgot to mention this before...we had a twenty-fifth anniversary party at the library a couple of saturdays ago. luckily, it was my day off. well, the director had shirts made up for the staff with Lincoln Library embroidered on them. the director picked them up from the store, brought them to the library. she paid for them. someone then noticed that the embroidered patches read Lincoln Libary. Libary. uh huh. right. so, no one got to wear them for the party.
today was a very busy day and i'm pooped. the circ head and i decided to move the books on CD to the shelves next to the new fiction to make room for more books on tape in the audio section. that was my job, but first i weeded the new fiction, pulling books six months old or older, de-dotted them (a highly technical term that means to remove the red dot that indicates the book is new) and sort them down. i only managed to reshelve a few later on. i'm sure this is fascinating for you, but trust me, it gave us room in audio when we had NO MORE ROOM and boy, it made many of us very happy. see, like almost any other 25 year old library, we have run out of room to put things in/on. it is an ongoing struggle to find one more space, one more shelf, one more empty spot. if i end up in hell, with my luck, i will be in charge of endlessly trying to find more room on the devil's full to brimming 'libary' shelves. with no breaks or weekends off (but plenty of hot coffee).
