cleaning and mending books

n a happier note, I am getting a chance to put the picture book section back in order. I was supposed to proctor make-up Extend 2 Tests, but the materials haven't arrived. We pulled about 100 picture books from the fiction section and re-catalogued them as picture books. While I was moving the books around I cleaned them with bleach wipes. I wish we had time to weed. Usually this gets combined with inventory but we didn't get to that this year.

Instead I have picked up every single picture book and cleaned most of them. It is good to really know what is in the collection. I'm going to need to order more supplies - we are almost out of label protectors. I'm also fixing torn pages as I go. I could happily spend another week at this task but I'll settle for the next two days. I hope by then they'll announce the decisions about our positions for next year. We were supposed to have "the meeting" last Friday afternoon but it was cancelled at the last minute and has yet to be rescheduled. I am thankful that I have something to keep my hands busy and happy to keep our books in circulation a little longer.
