Tuesday: Our first day in the building - I unpacked a few boxes of things for the workroom and arranged all our shelves. Luckily the beautiful dark work shelving is all on wheels!
Wednesday: The books arrived! 232 boxes of books for our opening collection were delivered, all labeled, color-coded, and in call number order.
5 pallets of library books sure take up a lot of room.
Thursday: Shelving Day! From 8:00-3:00 a team from our book vendor Mackin helped get the collection on the shelves while a few library friends helped with little projects too and our wonderful custodial staff helped keep everything looking neat and clean.
Thursday Morning:
Lots to Do!

Next week we should get a circulation desk, computers, and another pallet of books to add to the shelves. We're almost ready for school to begin!
WOW! Those kiddos are in for a big treat! The making of a library has been pretty neat to watch!
