This is a photo of the interior of the Algiers Branch of New Orleans Public Library where I volunteered last year.
This is before we got started sorting through boxes and making room for workstations. Many of the boxes were completely falling apart and full of moldy, dusty books. I was so glad I brought my white gloves from the Maryland Room move! My group of 34 volunteers worked all day in the 100 degree NOLA weather, and made a lot of progress. I was the volunteer coordinator so I actually made the rounds and got to talk to everyone. I have had responsibility for donations @ FCPL and now realize how lucky I was that our donations never quite looked like this!

What I learned @ the library today

Setting up a blog is simple, but it is important to follow instructions and pay attention to directions.
For example, I am not sure if I should have set up a gmail account, but I skipped that step since I don't want another email address! "It" still "let me" set up this account since I have successfully logged in twice now. For me, the hardest of the 7 1/2 habits is to view obstacles as challenges or learning opportunities, not necessarily negative situations. However, I have learned through experience that this is generally true, and have learned much at the workplace about addressing difficult situations by changing behaviors and adapting my ways to turn the problem around into a learning opportunity. The easiest habit as I learn and grow is "Play!"

PS: did I do this right??!!
