Two libraries, one day

Today I had a choir meeting and a shift at the public library, so I thought it would be a good opportunity to take some pictures. I started off in the choir room at 10 in the morning, ready to sort through some music. In this picture, my choir director, Mrs. Baxter, helps me put away a box of music.

We're currently in the process of purging old, battered copies and putting what's left in new boxes, so virtually every box in the library is being taken down, re-evaluated, and re-shelved. It's a bit painstaking! However, I really like organizing things, and Mrs. Baxter has put me in charge of this project, so I'm enjoying it. Anyway, it isn't all work, work, work all the time, either. Around lunchtime, my fellow choir officers and I found a box of old choir robes and...well, this ensued:

 At one, I drove over to the public library to start my shift in the children's section. I feel so official with my volunteer tag:

I even have my own desk in case the librarians are busy and people are in need of assistance! Of course, I usually just get to re-direct people to the Reference desk or tell them which flier to pick up, but hey, somebody's got to do it.

While I'm at the library, I cut out crafts, organize coloring sheets, and (of course) shelve a LOT of books. Even though they're fairly repetitive tasks, I really like them, especially the shelving. There's a nice little feeling of accomplishment at the end. Sometimes, though, I don't have an assignment to do, so I'll just grab a book off the shelves, take it back to my desk, and read until further notice.
