Today the library played host to75 or more local fourth-graders. They got a tour of campus, and got 3 separate mini classes from three of our faculty. At the end of each tour, the children came to the library and got to exchange a fake buck for a real book (provided with money from CalSOAP). Although most of them said their favorite part was the toy that the Nursing dept handed out, donated by Wal-Mart. Chris, head janitor, vacuumed the library after they finished their lunches (it was too cold to eat outside) and after they left, we put my library back together.
The rest of the day was quiet (as a library should be :) ). I did have to stay a little late helping a student submit an assignment to turn-it-in.com. He had used spaces in stead of tabs and it had messed up everything when he did editing. He is going to devote this summer to leaning how to use Word 2007, he says.
Boy, this bog has turned into a lot of brand name dropping, which was not my intention. But I guess I wanted to thank Walmart and CalSoap one more time and the other two are essential library tools here on campus.
See you monday!

New in the Library
Today the biggest new thing is this blog. Thanks for reading.
We have several new books hitting the shelves this week:
3 on photoshop and how to use it
and 3 crime mysteries by Marilyn Meredith including Guilt by Association.
We also got our new chairs this week. These chairs were bought with Bond money and were part of ensuring that our Library in specific and our campus in general are as accessible for the most number of people possible. They are a lovely blue color and quite comfortable. You should come and try them out.
Just a heads up: tomorrow is the "I'm going to College" day with fourth-graders from three local elementary schools. The library my be a little noisy from 9-1. The writing lab will be opened if needed. Don't worry, you will be able to write your papers, respond to professor emails and research your next assignment in either the library or the writing lab.
