Paperwork Mountain

It's like no librarian since the existence of the facility in 1968 ever threw ANYTHING away and each subsequent librarian just created their own files so we have files and files and files and you had better believe I'm purging what I can when I can. We are having our soft opening tomorrow even though our computers haven't been set up yet. At least all the books are back on the shelves. NOW to get them in order on the shelves.


My fingers are so dry from handling so much paper. My goal is not to eat out this week. I bought some French bread and mayonnaise this morning from Walmart along with some chips. I think I'm going to do it. We have our soft opening tomorrow. We got the flag hanged after multiple attempts and different ladders. It looks great. The main part of the library reminds me of a hanger and I am anxious to get some model planes hanging from the ceiling in there. Sooo many records and paperwork.


I have a couple hours left for work. I am working 40 hours a week so I need to coordinate everything. I can't wait until all of this stuff is done and I can focus on story times plus meeting people on base and developing relationships with them to help my library. It is looking fabulous and I can't wait for it to be completed.


Nata didn't have any gifts on Christmas to unwrap. I told her I would try to make up for it now. I am going to send her a box and I'm going to get my mother to wrap the things so she can open something even if it isn't on Christmas. My poor niece felt like a loser and its us that are her loser family.
