Crazy night on the j-desk. It took me an hour or two to realize that it was because the library was closed yesterday. Tuesdays have been relatively quiet since the library started having Monday hours, but this was like old times. For the first three hours I didn’t have a second to weed (biographies of pilots and astronauts tonight) but luckily it quieted down a bit for the last hour and I got through one stretch of books. Here are some of the questions/requests:

WWII x5 (class projects)
historical fiction for a 5th grader
Battle of Midway
chemistry problem (luckily he found a friend who could solve it since I was too crazed to focus on it and it’s been a long time since 10th grade chemistry class)
