Happy Holidays!

’Twas the day before winter holiday break, and all through the library, not a student was to be found. Paper and project deadlines have passed, and exams have been sat. The faculty have seemingly long since retreated to their home offices to grade (wait, wasn’t that just last week?). The librarians paused to take a deep breath and reflect on the fall semester that had just passed. Time to service the printers and copiers, fill the staplers, empty the hole punchers, and restock the pens and pencils that were “borrowed” (but are hardly ever returned). Then to check the book drops and shelve. 

It feels odd to take down Christmas decorations before Christmas has even come, and then we remember why we had the student workers string the lights around the banisters… Maybe they can stay until January. 

A few more reports to run, out of office assistants to be set up, and then break can begin. Well, after we check out our own reading list books! 

Happy Holidays!
