Notes

• The last week of August is always an odd week, especially so this year. Our county fair is in progress, teachers are in in-service, and everyone's getting ready for back to school. After our move last Saturday, staff worked on getting the carts of nonfiction in order for their transition. I and my staff took turns being off for most of the week for appointments, vacation, or cows. Those who were off for cows reported to me that the cows did very well indeed!
• The first week of September is also the first week of school. I usually don't start programs this week because everyone is busy, but even more so this year as the second half of shifting the adult nonfiction was in progress with the upper level of the library being closed down. I'm glad we got everything stored in the basement last week, as the construction company started right away on Tuesday with ripping out carpet, so everything down there is officially unavailable! I had reports to write and projects to finish up, including lots of collection development projects and some final measuring upstairs, but all the staff spent lots of time helping with the moving. With the help of volunteers, all the adult nonfiction was shifted by the end of Wednesday (and I got two easy 10,000 step days in a row lol)
• We also got the teen area set up for storytime next week - we'll see how it goes!
