A New School Year

I have been cataloguing new books.  The process began in the spring and the labels were sent to the school over the summer.  When arrived at school at the end of August, they were waiting for me.  I actually like the cataloguing process.

First there is the buying of the books.  This is always fun.  Fortunately, Mrs. Gassi allows me my full budget and that translates into hundreds of new books for the Library each year.  It is always an adventure, when I go book shopping. 

When the books arrive at school, I get to enjoy them for the second time.  I see them as new books, but now I can look through them a little more thoroughly.  I stop and read a few pages from one, look through another, and before I know it, the period is over and it's time for another class.

When the labels arrive, I begin to read them again.  As I place the labels on the books, I stop and begin to flip through their pages.  Soon, I am engrossed in the story.

Magical.

Why don't you drop by the Library.  See what new books there are.  Maybe you will get lost in their pages, too?
