books, books and more books

So I'm sheving the books in the school library since we have no librarian and the teachers aren't doing it, not right anyway and the kids well don't even get me started on that one.

I spent 3 days last week going through ever since nonfiction book and putting them in order via the Dewey Decimal system. Ya remember it? We learned about it in grade school oh and the public library in town uses it too, so this isn't a new concept. But for some reason every time I'm in there I get kids and teachers asking me where do I find this or how do I find that or I want a book about... Really people the charts are on the wall it will tell you that animals are in 500 and that jokes are 811 and that biographies are 900s on reference is 000 and so on. Can't find the ficition book you really want but know the author, try looking it up by he's last name!! Ficition is by author's last name, again just like the libary in town. don't even get me started on the picture books, we have 4 shelving units of them and no one, kids and teachers alike, can seem to get them in order.

It's like to newly cleaned window that the kids have to touch, the shelves never stay straightened. Oh well just one more thing for me to do when I'm at the school. Speaking of which I should get going.
Later gater.
