contrast

Keeping in mind the activities of Wednesday, my Friday has consisted so far of withdrawing duplicates from the library. We have tons (ok, a bit of an exaggeration; but lots, for sure) of duplicate copies of books. Having two of one book doesn't make the library a better one. So I have the privilege of withdrawing them. It only takes a couple clicks of a mouse (deleting an item record, making the holding say we only have one instead of two) and then crossing out the barcode and call number with a Sharpie. I can't tell you how mindless and monotonous it's been. But, at least it's productive. Just quite different from hiking a beautiful mountain in the great outdoors...
