Thanks for bearing with me...

Tight, tight, tight, with no room for growth! Also located directly next to A) the bathroom, which makes for less-than enticing browsing and B) the children's section, which suggests that it's simply an off-shoot of kidville.

...through the less-than-regular posting!

The new job is going swimmingly, but it's currently taking up the lion's share of my attention and time*.

I find myself dreaming about it, or waking up in the middle of the night and mulling over POSSIBILITIES for programming or organization or fundraising or ordering or wishlists or whatever.

All good things, but overall, exhausting! 

I'll post more about the specifics of what I've been up to soon: there's a board meeting coming up next week, so that'll be a good excuse for me to sit down and make a list of all of the changes I've made and things I've been up do. In the meantime, though, the pictures at right are of one of the first things I did: moving the YA books.

Plus, I've dived back into Super Readers' Advisory Mode... which is hugely intellectually stimulating, but again, exhausting: and, as it is, as I've said, a small-town library with only one full-time employee (ME!), I'm doing Readers' Advisory for every age group.

Which I love.

But, as I said, it is rather exhausting, LIKEWHOA.

Still plenty of room for improvement, but far more enticing! Plus, it's now located over by the adult stacks, which will allow readers to organically browse in both areas.

That's GOOD, though, because it means that people are already starting to use my brain as a resource. 

So, you know: YAY!

ANYWAY. Thanks again for being so understanding.

To everyone who had Labor Day off, I hope it was a good one!
To everyone who didn't, I hope you had a lovely day nonetheless!
To everyone who is starting a new school year, HAVE FUN! 
To everyone else, DITTO. 

Have I missed any BIG KERFUFFLES in the blogsphere while I've been radio silent?
