This is one of the most frightening time in a librarians life. It is the dreaded Scholastic's Book Fair. Now being the small insignificant library we are, having a book fair is explosive to us. Now unfortunately for me, I am the main dudette that has to take care of it. Dear lord save me!!!
This is a first for me, and if you don't know what you're doing, you kind of become the lost little puppy, leading little lost puppies. Now the interesting fact is, we only HOST the book fair, we do not own the books. (Though there are quite a few books I wouldn't mind owning. ^_^) So we have the fun time of making sure no one steals a book, or thinks they can simply check it out. It is especially fun making sure no kids decide to draw in them.
These fairs are only provided through schools or libraries, non-profit organizations and the like. They are fun, but at the same time we do fear the cloud of children that descend upon us.
Sincerely,
The Egg Wolfing, Exhausted Librarian
