Back from a couple weeks’ camping and this song is running on repeat in my head, partly because my soft librarian hands suffered a few blisters from swinging an axe on occasion…
Our next door neighbour at the lake showed up with a barn-shaped shed that he said was his Covid project with his kids (much more ambitious than *my* Covid quarantine project which was eating my body weight in chips and beer!) 😉
Anyhow, it was a huge job to get it placed, taking about ten people an hour to get it into place but it looks good and adds a nice “prairie” touch to the area where we camp.
This was the sign one of my staff hastily wrote during the frantic last day my library was open to the public (which ironically, I suspect was one of the busiest circulation days in my branch’s history as people took *armloads* of books – perhaps realising our project of “at least a couple weeks” was a bit optimistic!)
Now, nearly four months later, my branch is once again open. I didn’t think to put up a “Welcome Back!” sign today (“We Are Opening!”) but it was rewarding to have some many regulars come in, tell us how much they missed us, and even take pictures in front of the library to celebrate such a momentous occasion!
