Here We Go Again! Inventory Time!

Yep! It's inventory time again!
We've had our signs posted all around the library for the past couple of weeks about being closed next week. This happens every year at the same time.
So, don't look for our doors to be open Monday, August 10th, through Friday, August 14th, because we'll be in the process of waxing floors, cleaning shelves and ceiling fans, straightening books, and dusting all over the place, as well as the many other inventory processes that will be going on. This gives us time to look into every nook and cranny to find that lost book or misplaced file.
It also gives us time to be together as a library family.
In fact, the first morning of inventory always brings the staff together early (and I mean early for some of us) to share breakfast. In the past, we've met at various restaurants, but this year we're breakfasting here at the library.
Our director plans to serve breakfast casseroles, someone will bring fruit, someone will prepare the coffee, another will fix toast, and another will bring the jams and jellies. We'll all thank the Lord for our jobs and friendships and food, and then we'll sit down together to a feast.
After that, the serious business of inventory will begin and last for a whole five days.
By the time our doors open again on Saturday, August 15th, at 8:30 a.m., the place will be spick and span, clean from top to bottom, and ready for you to join us.
Thanks for your patience and understanding. See you on the 15th.
