And that means books. Lots and lots of books. My job is to put these books away, but it's an overwhelming job. In summer we are closed for most of the weekend, meaning that there's 3 days of work to do on Monday.
When books are returned to the library they are actually returned at the desk and then placed on shelves behind the circulation desk. It's our job to take these books from these shelves, organize them, and then put them on the big shelves in the main part of the library. The only problem with this setup is that the shelves back there are not big enough to deal with the summer months. There are two overflow tri-level carts back there that yesterday were both filled, as well as most of the page carts were then filled with books.
It's days like that that are so frustrating. It'd be fine if we had enough hands to help put all the books away, but when you're working in 2-3 man shifts it makes it seem like nothing is getting done. I don't know, I llike my job, but it could be so much easier if it didn't feel as though I was under an avalanche 24/7 while I'm there.
