What a weird month June ended up being! I wanted to stop borrowing books from other libraries while mine went through a transition period with it’s catalog. I chose one book to read, And Ladies of the Club by Helen Hoover Santmyer which I thought would take me the entire month of June. How wrong I was…about everything. First, the migration is delayed so I could have borrowed books from other libraries. In that one instance the library stayed the same while everything else changed: the entire building has had every light bulb changed, I’m in the process of hiring two new people (and an architect for a complete overhaul of the library’s layout), in September I will have three staff members working nights, only two people are in their same offices, and I even got new furniture. What a difference a month makes. I was also wrong about finishing And Ladies of the Club. I was bored to tears. So I moved on to:
- Longest Day by Cornelius Ryan in honor of D-Day on June 6th, 1944.
- Atonement by Ian McEwan in honor of June being Family month.
- Gold Bug by Edgar Allan Poe in honor of June being National Short Story month.
- Dinner at the Homesick Restaurant by Anne Tyler in honor of Food Week
Not a huge month for reading. I spent a lot of time focusing on life in the here and now…
