It's time for another "Library Day in the Life" update!

Yesterday I jotted down a few notes about what I must admit was a remarkably productive day.

• Completed time sheets for my students and staff.
• Talked to the carpet installers about their plan of attack for the archives. Helped move a few things out of their way and open doors.
• Printed, sorted, and counted correspondence from June.
• Processed an order for one of our for-sale books.
• Delegated a couple of reference questions; answered a couple myself.
• Updated the draft of a proposal for my boss.
• Moved books out of an antique desk in preparation for carpeting in that area.
• Received a request from a colleague who wanted to borrow a student assistant for a project.
• Compiled statistics for an annual report.
• Attended a lunch planning meeting.
• Printed items for our vertical files (biographical and university).
• Received a request for an obituary. Found, scanned, and emailed to happy (librarian) patron.
• Worked more on proposal.
• Took student assistant to meet colleague who needed help.
  
• Met with boss.
• Ended workday, and went to see the new Harry Potter movie.

If you will notice, even though I work in a library, I *did not* read all day!
