ALA Volunteers are AWESOME!!

ALA came to one of our district's middle schools today to help weed. This library had not been weeded in over 25 years. These 6 dynamic people arrived ready to work and attacked the shelves. It was incredible to watch these professionals at work. They came from all different parts of the U.S. to help us. We weeded over 10,000 books in 6 hours. A couple finished their section early, cleaned the shelves and staged some books on the shelves. This will lessen the "blow"the principal will feel when he sees all the books being deleted. Administrators never seem to understand the weed concept. This principal will walk into a beautiful library on Monday morning. How can we ever thank these volunteers? When they left, we thanked them over and over. They waved and said they were more than happy to do it.They even claimed to have enjoyed it. I am still in in awe of these wonderful people in our profession.
Tomorrow, off to ALA. I hope I run in to my new "friends".

No registration required. It was fun, but the animation doesn't transfer to this blog. Hmm.
