Ash Wednesday

What I'm doing between questions: checking last month's Death Dates list.

9:00 in the children's room

• Storytime starts at 9:30 so there is lots of pre-class running around

10:00 in the children's room

• Lengthy discussion of the possibility of a new catalog database with our IT guy, and how slow the new nearby Sierra system is [is it? Is it really??] and other juicy gossip
• [phone] Nearby library checking on one of our patrons who wants to check out [different library system from us]
• One of the guys that lives in the SRO next door has been in here printing twice; he tends to mumble and harrumph all the time, but this last time he actually says, "MICHIGAN!" fairly loudly behind me while he's waiting, causing me to start [Tourette's? Maybe?]
• "Where did you put my library card, hon?" [mom to toddler son] [While she's chasing him and his brother around, I do a circuit of the room and find the card + sunglasses]
• The pigeon books [Mo Willems is awesome]

There was some more random kid stuff, and a very odd hat on a rather odd woman, but nothing else I wanted to get into on here...
