Library Quiet

Hello,

For story time the local creamery came to talk to the kids about their cows. They also provided milk and cookies. It was tremendously popular. This was followed by crafts at the half hour. There were even more in attendance for that as the older kids could come as well. We think the head count was at 200. That is definitely a lot for us to accommodate. I heard several people comment that we need a larger library.

I do not run the program so I was not totally involved with that. However many people stopped at the desk to check out books or sign up for the summer reading program. Four people also signed up to get library cards. That task involves a bit more time.

It was hard/impossible to get anything done that was cataloguing. I got the three magazines that came today entered and that was it. Luckily my boss knows what a steady stream it all was so she would not expect any different activities to have happened.

The afternoon program was well attended, but at more manageable numbers. However it was still quite busy for the small library that we are. I think back to those days and times when a patron will come in and talk about how quiet we are in the middle of the winter. What a difference a season makes! It is a good thing I like and deal fairly well with intense activity which has a manageable end point.
