Promised Library Update

[evila_elf]

We are going to be closed for 2 weeks starting the 18th I believe. Which will be when we completely move out of our building and next door to the basement *shudder* We have already started to pack up things. Today, a crew of people showed up from the Service Center to go through our whole collection and grab every 2, 3 or 4th book, depending on which type, to put into storage for a year. No method behind the choosing, just grab and box. Upstairs, the childrens' section and the part where I work at, the books taken from there will be in a temp location in the building we are at and we will rotate them in as needed. Man the shelves look so bare! Kinda freaky!

This is going to be one large organized mess. With having the things in boxes and things, it just might be enough to keep me employed there for the 10-12 months until the new library is done being built. I'm the lowest on the totem pole, so I would probably be the first to have to find a temp job at another building. Joy.

I still need to get some pics before the building is torn down, but I feel funny standing outside taking snapshots

"organized mess" .. now there's a contradiction I ought to remember.. it's basically a way to sum up my life.

But anyways, I can totally understand the urge to take pictures -- I'd do the same if I were in your shoes. I feel kind of sad they have to tear it down, and it sounds especially weird to do this before the new building exists...
