I have successfully moved the circulation desk.  The previous Librarian had the circulation desk in a spot that was not close to the door or the book drop, so I moved it today.  It just makes more sense to have it by the door so I am right there and can greet people, etc.  I ma happy with the change and think it will work well.

In other news, I successfully inventoried all the books on the shelf.  I know that Follett Destiny keeps track of your collection, but while checking in a stack of books I found a number of them that were not in the system.  Plus, one whole section of the Children’s picture books were not in the system.  So I spent the last week and a half scanning every book in the Library.  I found a good deal that had barcodes but had not been cataloged.  So I think my first step will be to get those taken care of.  We have about  7,000 books on the shelf now.  I am excited to see how many I’ll add to the system in the next few weeks.

I me the Secondary school teachers this week.  They all seem nice and I think I’ll get along with them.  They have been in the Library and we have talked about what they expect from me and the Library.  I can’t really order new books now because there is such a backlog.  But hopefully once I get things paired down we can order more things.
