12 - 1 ; 3 -4 p.m.

What I'm doing between questions: end-of-month cleanup stuff,

12:00 in the children's room

• Quiet prevails....whee
• Discussion of plumbing with cleaning dude
• Staff question: should U.S. Grant be in 973.92 or 973.82 [the latter...one book goes to Relabeling]
• Bathroom key
• [phone] Book donations? [I run through the 'rules']
• ...and back
• Bathroom key
• ...and back
• [phone] When is the "catalog" coming out? [the list of library programs, etc., is going in the mail today, according to the City website]

3:00 in the children's room

• [phone] Board Member wants to know about what, today, has become the staff and boards' farewell party for the boss... [nice, glad I have a legit excuse not to be there!]
• ...and here come the first of the girls that were here Monday afternoon after parochial school lets out
• ...the rest troop in...and they all head off to change out of their school uniforms in pairs or singles, and start "homework" (which really consists of calling siblings and ordering them around on their iPhones, snacking on leftover lunch, filling their water bottles, and loud-whispering)
• Virtually NOTHING happens the rest of the hour...like, nothing. I read emails, and wish I was outside in the sun....till it's time for me to go home.
