Better luck next year!

Well we didn't win the DEMCO room makeover contest :( but here's the acceptance speech I would have made . . .uhhmmm "I want to thank all the little people, the Liliputians, Smurfs, and the Borrowers; I want to thank my mom 'Hi Mom!', and everyone who helped me with our application: I would name you all here but I don't want to defame you. (You know who you are anyway!) Don't worry, we'll get 'em next year." [general applause] O.K. so now we get to fund raising :)

Still cleaning, purging, and learning

I did some more work yesterday. We have two computers and a printer that don't work and have just been taking up space, so I gathered them together and will find out if they are to be refurbished, removed, or recycled tomorrow. I also added several books to our collections. We use Follett software for our catalogue, but we haven't gone online yet. I'm still just learning how to use it; the last librarian gave me a crash course in the last weeks before the school year ended. I figured out how to search the MARC database and add books into the catalogue so I was feeling like I actually accomplished something. It's funny to think that a task that I'll probably be performing ad nauseam is so thrilling right now!
