This week at the library; or, Let the madness begin

Happening this week

• Tuesday
• SRP registration opens
• 3rd grade browsing and checkout
• 3rd grade field trip: Animal Quest
• Very excited to get some more contacts going with Lakelands School
• Still not sure what happened to my second school (only one came), but I think I forgot to send a reminder in the midst of all the other crises last week. Darn.
• Wednesday
• Tom Watson school author visit (3 schools)
• Thankful that our Friends president did all the work! Lots of enthusiasm, my booktalking cards went well. A busy day.
• Another ELL contact and got my summer school visits confirmed, so that's good
• Thursday
• Four year old kindergarten field trip: Pete the Cat (3 field trips)
• Friday
• Middle school outreach
• Of course I picked up a sinus infection or something. Of course. *mutter*
• I never feel like I really have good choices for the sixth graders (soon to be 7th). Too young? Too old? I dunno. Thankfully Ms. Yingling is here to reassure me.
• Saturday
• SRP officially starts
• Safety Shower
• Worldwide Knit-in Public Day
• The weather was grungy, my sinus infection is worse and my apartment smells like cow manure. No, I don't know why. I did finish the bills and went home early, as there were only a few people there and I wasn't on the information desk.

Projects in progress and completed
