Lots of cleaning, putting together new learning kits, and got a shipment of new books to catalog and process. Looking forward to sharing those when we reopen! I also have a daily blog with cross-curricular activities that I have been working on, sharing that
and other links to out Facebook page. Once I get me desk cleared off I'm going to re-pot a bunch of library plants. Lots of little projects we just never have the time for! Other staff are rearranging collections and re-labeling books that had those old hand-cut
sticky spine labels.</div>

I’m going to get out our kids’ jigsaw puzzles and see which ones are missing pieces. Maybe sew up some tears in the stuffed animals, too.</span></p>

So, we are not open to the public, but our library staff is still working (a blessing to have a job to go to, a paycheck, and some social contact, even though it is limited).</p>

Here in youth services, I am shifting books around and re-doing some sections so they make more sense. Also taking the time (finally) to do a good, thorough weeding in non-fiction. </p>

I'm also rethinking our new book display, which is currently an octagonal thing that doesn't fit the space well. My director wants to use that awkwardly-shaped display elsewhere in the library, and I have the go-ahead to choose something that will show off
our books better.</p>

I'm also shopping online for some better shelves for our children's graphic novels. Currently they are housed in some magazine displays, face-out. That's nice to show the covers, but each shelf is only a few inches deep, which means that everything is kind
of stuffed in and looks crowded. I could have a larger collection with shelves that are meant to hold graphic novels instead of magazines!</p>

I'm also monitoring our Facebook page and adding useful links (thanks for the ones you shared, Deanne!). Did you all know that Audible is offering free children's audiobooks right now, by the way?</p>
