Books on my desk



I work in the technical services department at Missoula Public Library. This behind-the-scenes department is where all the cataloging and processing action happens to get items shelf-ready for you to checkout and enjoy. If you've ever noticed the term "in-processing" in the library catalog, it means that the item listed is downstairs in the technical services department being assigned a call #, labeled, barcoded, dust jacket covered and more.

My desk is usually piled high with young adult & kids' book goodness waiting to be added into the catalog and processed. I thought it would be fun to share a few of the titles that are sitting on my desk right now.

These are just a few of the books that are sitting on my desk. You are welcome to place a hold on any one of them. My question for you is this, what books are sitting on your desk?? Post a comment and tell all of Missoula!
