We've Had Lots Of Rain And Spring Cleaning

Remember that little diddy...rain, rain, go away; come again another day. Well, that's what we're saying around here. Since our blog tells you of things that happen here at our library, I'll have to tell you about this.
We've moved out of our office because the rain came down so much it flooded our floor. That made the carpet wet and the whole place smell. So, today we're out of the office while the maintenance men pull up the carpet and take it away. Then they will clean the concrete under the carpet with bleach and let the place air dry. We hope we can get back in there before the end of the week. But.... Is there more rain in the forecast?
Of course, our office was not the only area in the library to be affected by the rain. Or should I say water? Or is rain and water the same thing?
Our children's librarian had some of her prized possessions drenched. And the break room carpet was wet, as was part of the auditorium's and reference area's carpet. The genealogy library, however, stayed pretty dry. The maintenance men sand-bagged some of the outside areas and that helped. It could have been much worse.
All in all, it's a good time, I suppose, to clean and straighten and throw away stuff that probably needed to go. And it's a good time to air out and freshen up.
Maybe we should say thanks to the rain, the water, the flooding of carpets and drenching of prized possessions.
Maybe we should welcome our spring cleaning. But, boy! It sure is a lot of work!
