Lib"Scare"ians

This year the library is filled with Halloween spirit. I'm pretty sure that in the close to 4 years I've worked here this is the most dressed up we've been. I took the easy road by just bringing in my Ronald Reagan mask. But that still counts, right?

Then I ran into Heather, who dressed up like Eddy from Eddy's coffee shop in our lower lobby!

And our staff room is filled with treats, my favorites? These awesome witch fingers that Kathy from tech services brought in. They're almost too creepy looking to eat, but they taste delicious.

Checking in with Paula: Administrative Assistant's Day

It's been a while since we've checked in with our Administrative Assistant Paula, and as many of you know, yesterday was Administrative Assistant's day. We got some breakfast and other goodies for Paula, and even let her wear a crown since she was "queen for a day." Although if you ask her, she's queen here at the library EVERY day.

Thanks for all the work you do here at the library Paula!

Checking In With Paula

Well, Paula made it in yesterday afternoon, and we had a quick dedication ceremony for her office. Less fanfare, but still a momentous occasion. The reason her car "broke" was a faulty alternator, which I believe is now fixed, so Paula should have no excuse to not show up for work.

Unfortunately, I neglected to snap a picture of the glorious boots she was wearing, so be on the lookout for a picture the next time she wears them.

Office Open House and Checking in With Paula

This morning we had an open house for the new director and administrative assistant's offices. These offices have been a few months in the making, and look great. Marje brought a bunch of goodies for us to snack on while we perused the new digs.

We even had a semi-official ribbon cutting to commemorate the occasion. Now Honore and Paula can work in peace, without the staff constantly coming over to check out their new offices.

And speaking of Paula, since you're all clamoring for an update on what she's up to...

Even though she wasn't here, it didn't stop us from ducking under the ribbon on her door and poking around her office a bit. We'll have to have another ribbon cutting ceremony for her when she gets her car fixed, I suppose.

Checking In With Paula

Our Administrative Assistant Paula , who you may remember from Halloween, always keeps things interesting here at the library. Just yesterday she spun a hilarious yarn about her drive to work that had the whole circulation staff rolling on the floor. (The punchline was, "He sure was a lucky son of a buck!)

Starting today, we will periodically be checking in to see whats going on in her part of the world.

She recently moved to her brand new office (pictures of all the new offices coming soon, when everyone is unpacked) and the first thing she did was set up some of her Christmas decorations to get the staff properly instilled with Christmas spirit. Currently her office sports not one...

...but two ethnic Santas.

Paula has Christmas spirit, that's for sure. We'll be sure to check back in when she unloads the 10 or so more boxes of Christmas decorations she keeps in her garage.

Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween from all of us here at the library. Especially from Tove, Paulette, Caroline and Karen who all came to work today with true Halloween spirit. (Paula also dressed up as a member of the FBI or Federal Book Inspectors, but she was AWOL when the picture was taken.) We'll have some candy tonight at our circulation desk and in our computer lab for any little ones who might stop by. Be safe tonight and have a Happy Halloween!


EDIT - Paula was located doing "official" Federal Book Inspector business and was out tracking an overdue book at the time of the initial picture.
