Weeding, weeding, weeding...

and organizing, organizing, organizing.  My assistant is going to be so proud of me! I have weeded and re-cataloged all the way up to the 600's so far!! We started this project this past school year, but it's so hard to do it during the school year.  Summer's a great time to do it--most of the books are checked in (except for the Summer Library program circulations). We have a few books here and there that are miscataloged--Follett Library Resources, I'm talking about you!  We have some books where the Dewey numbers are too specific for us.  Today, I put all of the whale, dolphin, and whatever else is in that category to 599.5; some of those books had a .53 ending, but .5 is specific enough.

One of my library friends in a neighboring county went back to work today (UGH!!!), and I let her know that I went to work in solidarity with her today.  It was great!! I love working on my own schedule.  I've had a bunch of teenagers in shelving the Summer Library books, and boy, are they a mess!! The kids or the books?!?! BOTH!!! Apparently, the kids don't like reading decimal points!
