Up a Tree

Greetings from my new job. Given it's entirely wooden, second floor balcony access only way, I've dubbed my new joint "Library Treehouse" or Treehouse for short. Once again, I am the sole librarian here. I currently have one work study though two is the usual number.

I spent my first day getting down and dirty and plan to repeat that tomorrow. It is dusty up in here. I also plan on throwing out a whole ton of junk. There are binders full of information from the eighties. Probably will waffle over their potential importance for a while before promptly chucking them. I'm also getting a new computer as the current one has definitely had better days. Hopefully I will also get a new printer as the current one takes up a lot of desk space.

It is dead silent here. There are no computers in here to draw in the internet zombies and the collection is far too specialized to draw on the greater community.

Oh, did I mention that we're still on the card catalog system? Yes, yes we are. Do I know how to do the card catalog system? No. No I don't. And I will learn only temporarily and then we are going electronic damnit. I will find the cheapest software available if I have to, but we are going to barcode this place up the wazoo and throw the card catalog down a flight of stairs or something.

Rock on,
