Another librarian and I just met with some local Forest Service folks, who are hoping to get a big grant soon. We came away with plans for everything from guest lectures to a big family camping trip in the mountains! (Didn't help that the one guy was REALLY good-looking.)Amihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04191114596338482173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-915041119468051754.post-87941128474058751032012-11-18T10:36:18.635-06:002012-11-18T10:36:18.635-06:00Ha, right!

Or just work a 40 hour week, that would be nice too!Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05096787155616041727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-915041119468051754.post-68943293501294495162012-11-18T10:28:02.624-06:002012-11-18T10:28:02.624-06:00We haven't had a full staff since...since...I ...We haven't had a full staff since...since...I can't remember. No director for the past three years, and we just lost a reference librarian (shortly after going many months with none at all).
