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.
