Wednesday... Past Halfway...
          Today was a gorgeous day. I enjoyed it on my lunch break when I went to Spic and Span, a lovely little sandwich shop in Southport. That's really not the point of this entry, but it was the first thing I thought of. I finished stickering all the boxes of books we currently have and covered some. I helped make room by taking boxes of donations to the book sorting room. They have a room for all the books they get where they put them into different categories for the book sale. Yeah, Pequot has a HUGE book sale in July. It's actually a big deal. They prepare for it year-round and people come from all over the place. I think that's because we sell good antique books or something like that. What else? The Baker and Taylor (a company we order books from) people were here to look through the accounts and processes. That's all I know about that though. Sitara was working on entering data into a database, which I thought could be boring (many things could be) but useful to know. Oh! And there was debate on labels. We have "mystery" labels and "fantasy" labels and such that go on the books so people can easily see the genre. I heard Marianne and Vicki, the tech librarians, discuss the pros and cons of using so many labels and which ones to use and how to classify certain books. It was interesting.
