August 29, 2017

 Today happened. It was a fairly boring day.

Most of my morning at work was spent upstairs, with a few trips down for walkthroughs or to check something downstairs. I compiled all the stats related to the adult side of summer reading, including overall participants, the number of events, and money spent. Then I continued researching Kindle stuff. I emailed a few more libraries and heard back from one of them. They had discontinued their program awhile ago because their Kindles became obsolete and their patrons lost interest as they got their own devices. I don't know that we'll have that problem for awhile with our homebound patrons because they're not that tech savvy. Which also creates a steep learning curve, but I still think there's potential.

This afternoon I was basically on the desk the whole time and spent that time reading about readers advisory. It was kind of a distraction from other things but I learned some things. I was also on the desk just a few minutes too long because I took a call that ended up with me giving a tour tomorrow. Yay. I've only done one but they're kind of stressful. Especially when they come at the last minute.

And that was my day at work.

When I got home I ate dinner, watched YouTube videos, and spent the rest of the evening watching New Girl. I also finally made test swatches of the two ink samples I got awhile ago. I think the green one might be my new favorite green. Noodler's Gruene Cactus Eel. At some point I'm going to get it in a pen and see how it actually writes. I've heard Noodler's ink can be kind of wet. I'm hoping it looks as good with a regular pen as it does with the glass pen.


It's nearly ten o'clock so I'm way ahead of things tonight. This still took me an hour to write but I've been slower. Tomorrow I have to be at the library at eight o'clock for an all staff meeting. At least I'll get off at five o'clock.
