We've started a mini-shift at the library where I work. This is the first shift that I've participated in. The library recently received some money, all of which has to be spent on the purchase of new books only. We've been spending like crazy because of the whole 'if you don't use it, you lose it' theory. Therefore, our shelf space has become a little congested. It's not such a bad process as long as you only work in groups of two. I've also discovered that it's a great way to see books in our collection that I wouldn't ordinarily look at. A review process has also ensued--we're not calling it weeding but we are reviewing to see if certain copies would be useful at any of our three center libraries. Another benefit of the shift is the day just flew by!
After work I did some more editing and designing for my web site. This evening I think I'll try Google Pages or Geocities with Yahoo to register for web space. I could register through FSU for space but I'd like to use the site after I graduate as a personal tool and possibly for potential employers to visit.
I'm still working on The Garbage King. Dani, one of the two main characters, comes from a very rich family but I think he is getting ready to run away. Mamo, the other main character, is poor and a stranger claims to be his uncle and then sells him to work for a cruel farmer. The boys have not met each other yet, I'm only on chapter 5. I think I've been reading a little slow because this is the last book I need to read for my theme paper. I'm wrongfully assuming that I have plenty of time. I hope to start my paper next Monday and be ready to submit it that Wednesday (2 days early!). This way I can leave ahead of schedule to visit my folks while they vacation in Myrtle Beach.
