Citizenship Party at the Library

 I bopped down to the library around 4:30 p.m.  I had some books on the hold shelf that I should have picked up last week but was so busy last Thursday that I never got around to it.  Books stay on the hold shelf for one week before being sent back into the system.  Actually, while I did have books on the hold shelf and they had been there a week, that was just my excuse for coming into the library.  I'd received a call from one of the other volunteers that they were planning a "Welcome to America" party for Trevor on Wednesday night right at closing.  Gradually volunteers, board members, and Friends of the Library began to filter in.  Fortunately, Librarian Trevor was sequestered in his office, bent over his computer, oblivious to all of the people in the library past closing.   I was helping Volunteer Tom close up when Trevor came out of his office, ready to head home.  He asked if there was a meeting he wasn't aware of and we, of course, told him yes.  We started out w/ everyone saying the pledge of allegiance.  After that it was cake, raspberries, and other goodies.  I swear we had a better turnout of volunteers than we have for regular training sessions.
