Whoever would have thought that being a librarian would involve so much physical labor? The last couple of weeks have been very hard physically, as I’ve unloaded shelves of books, moved shelving, assembled other shelving, loaded books back onto shelves, assembled new computer tables, moved computers, and rearranged all the furniture in the Reference Department.

I’m happy and relieved to say that as of 4:30 this afternoon I turned the last screw on the last computer table. My physical project is completed. Well, almost. On Monday or Tuesday we’re getting seven more computers to put on the tables in our Reference Dept. computer lab. When that’s done, we’ll have 25 computers in our “lab,” all with MS Office, full Internet access, printing capabilities, etc. Since someone ELSE will be coming and installing those computers, my physical work in this arena is basically done. I’ll try to load a couple pictures onto this blog once we’re done with everything.

In the meantime, I can get back to working on the website and my online resources for the Modern Languages Department. :-)
