An Inventory of the "Inventory"

I did an inventory of the staff on Tuesday (the second day of the library's inventory). I asked what the hardest thing to do was during this particular inventory. They all agreed. It was moving the stored items out of the classroom, so the shelves could be removed and taken to the new storage area. Then the stored items could be placed back on the shelves in the new area. And, of course, there's also the cleaning of all the little places the public does not see (like the utility room and closets), where things have been stuffed until they could be taken care of. Well, as Melody, our director, said, "That time has come." It's big-time cleaning for the library. And it's not even Spring!

But...when the library opens after inventory (August 4), there will be tons of free magazines! And CDs, records, audio tapes and videos will be on sale for 50 cents each. Hardback books and large paperbacks will be 25 cents each. Small paperbacks will be 10 cents each. Now, how could you beat a deal like that???
