frenzied front line fun

While the Missoula Public Library knows better than to close for two days in a row, that's what we did. All for a good cause, of course, being Memorial Day weekend.

From 10:00 on there were lines of people waiting to check out while staff scurried to register new users and keep up with thousands of items being returned throughout the day. It was all hands on deck!

And whoever said that librarians are a dying breed? Tell that to the hundreds of people who called or stopped by for reference help today.

A great big thank you to all of you out there who keep us on our toes - and an equally big thank you to MPL staff who make it all happen. Can't have one without the other....
