Library Stuff

It's survey week here at my library, where we ask patrons to tell us what they think of our library, and we track reference questions and materials use (e.g. I used three books to answer that demographics question, but none to tell that lady where the bathroom is...)

As they did a year ago, Bill and Gene over at Unshelved are following me around again (you're freaking me out, guys!). Seems it's also survey week at Mallville Public and Dewey and the gang are coping...mostly.

Monday's Unshelved
Tuesday's
Today's (why didn't I think of that one?!)
