Librarians on Parade

This weekend was a busy one. Not only did we have a party, we also represented the library at the annual Parade of Lights parade. None of us really know what we were doing, but we got lots of cheers and heard, "I love the library!" more times than I could count.

We gave away two full bags of magnets, candy canes and temporary tattoos. I had no idea marching in a parade was such fun, I guess that's why Missoula has parades all the time. I know we'll participate in parades in the future after this one.

Special thanks to Joyce's husband who took some great pictures of us marching. See more of his work at edoylephotography.com.

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.
