and man o man, I'm already wiped! As the term here draws to a close, the volume of books being circulated spikes to an almost-absurd degree - whereas students normally check out a book or two or three during the rest of the semester, they won't leave the library now without cleaning out entire sections of the stacks. This increased flow of materials trickles down to every aspect of life at the Circulation Desk, so when I came in for my closing shift this afternoon, I found the Hold Shelf teetering with requests waiting to be filed. On a good day it takes about an hour to bring order to the bookshelves; today it took two and a half. And did I mention we're down a person as well (and not any person, but the indefatigable Walter, or "What Would Walter Do?")?
Hopefully I'll have time to blog tomorrow! In the meantime, I'm going home to get some rest...
