Notes

• I had a couple weeks to finish up the plans for moving. No matter how much work I did in September (and prior) constant changes, things I forgot, updates, and keeping everyone in the loop meant I had to keep redoing things. I did get the juvenile fiction collection weeded (barely) in time and also finished (i.e. I have no more time so they are done) the two sessions I am co-presenting at our state conference. We also needed to cover a couple storytimes, because our school collaborator was called in for other duties. The week of October 13th we started packing things up, and the move officially began on Friday the 17th, when we were closed for our annual staff work day.
• On the 17th, with the help of staff from other departments, we got all the books loaded onto the carts from the moving company and all the toys etc. moved out of the way.
• Of course, I was scheduled to work the following Saturday, because that's just how things are now. And we are dealing with the collapse of Baker & Taylor. I called it months ago, so no surprise for me and I cancelled all my backorders last summer.
