WE'RE IN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This has been a heart-pounding week! On Friday morning, our book rep waited at the building to instantly find out the results of the inspectors' visits. The fire marshall approved the last thing with the sprinkler system, and then the building inspector did his duty, and WE GOT OCCUPANCY!! It's a good thing, too, because the books and the movers were on their way already. We got the OP at 10:30 and the books arrived at 11:15. Cutting it a little close, eh? There were 23 pallets of books that contained 424 boxes of books. Another box showed up later that day all on its own. We started shelving the books later Friday afternoon and continued on Saturday. We took today off because everything was moving along swimmingly. We will finish tomorrow. The library looks AWESOME. The books are just fantastic--clean, stiff, beautiful. We have found a couple of "oops" glitches in the order: my fault, I'm sure. We got 21 copies of two different books and 11 copies of a third. I am sure that I was clicking a little too fast and didn't catch the error. Oh, well. We'll send the copies along to other libraries in the county. These books won't go to waste, that's for sure! I am actually excited to go to work tomorrow.
