Chore One complete

Today we finished weeding. It went much faster than anticipated. We have over sixty boxes of books to be transported into town AFTER the shelves are brought in AFTER the new walls are built. With a few exceptions the books will be processed into the system over the next school year.

It is a relief seeing everything ready to go to town or to new homes elsewhere. I did save a few "oldies but goodies" as examples of why a collection needs to be weeded. Hawaii waiting to be the forty-ninth state, etc.

Opportunity or Chore

This summer I will have a great opportunity or a dreadful chore. We have closed our K-8 rural school and made the decision to put all library service in one physical location. The K-12 school currently houses the collection in two locations, one in the HS/MS and one in the elementary. Consequently I am always in the wrong location whenever someone is looking for me.
School is out and I have finished weeded the in town collection. Monday we start on the rural school collection. I have volunteered grandchildren to help.
