Thanks for the help with shelving!
Many thanks for the help with shelving the masses of books returned at the end of the Fall term.

A special thanks to Mark Procter, Lexa deCourval, Joy Pile, Barbara Merz, Sue Driscoll, Cindy Myrick, and Arabella Holzapfel for their help!

Poem by Gary Margolis inspired by Book 99 Years Overdue

“Facts I Ought to Know
About the Government
of My Country”
This book was due May 10
1910. I wouldn’t have
issued you a card, if I knew
a book could be missing
this long.

Help Shelve a Flood of Books
Hello,
The LIS Stacks department is currently drowning in a huge flood of returns.
Circulation Services is looking for LIS “volunteers” to help re-shelve. Do you have any time to spare during your regularly scheduled time between now and the 24th? If so, please check with your supervisor – and if approved by your supervisor, please contact Rich Church. The benefits are great – the hours are flexible, and shelving is a calm, quiet, stress free activity. The only requirement is a willingness to help. We’ll provide an orientation and a brief lesson in the Library of Congress Classification System.
Even an hour or two would help – thanks!
Elin
