I had such a nice day today!
1. My boss found $15,000 dollars in the budget and assigned it to the YA collection. Yay! That means a shopping trip to the bookstore on Friday to spend thousands of city dollars on books. I so love being a librarian.
2. My bon voyage party at work was today. I received lovely travel gifts. I ate lovely foods. I repeated 15,000 times, Italy, Austria, Switzerland, France, England, Scotland, Greece, Turkey, Romania, Wales. I have delightful, thoughtful, well-wishing co-workers.
3. I spent the afternoon playing The Great Dalmuti with teenage boys. I totally whomped them in the game, but I reigned as a benevolent Dalmuti.
4. I had a great conversation with a stranger.
5. Marmot Babe learned to use a spray bottle. He walks around grinning and spraying water here and there about the house (my sister assures me he's developing his gross motor skills). While I was visiting, he handed me the bottle, so I sprayed him (gently) in the face with the water and that made him happy too. Funny baby.

Wow, $15,000 is amazing! Have fun!
Yes, it's more than my entire annual budget for the ya collection. We're finally going to have enough copies of Uglies!
Yay Dalmuti!
What a wonderful gift to have before leaving for a fabulous trip! What a way to exit!
I love that your boss gave all the money to YA!
So what did you buy that I should now request?
EP--It is a nice way to go. Of course, I still have 3 days of work left. Slightly anti-climactic.
Yankee Girl--I know! It may have to do with the fact that whenever she asks how much money I need for my budget, I say, "I can spend forever. Whatever you give me will disappear."
HAH--So far, it's mostly for duplicate copies. I would really love to be able to find a book on the ya shelves during the summer. And we're getting lots of graphic novels. And merit badge books.
