Hello everyone and welcome back to another Sunday Salon. We had a good, if not rather crazy week. The library I work at just opened back up to the public with limited hours and we had 500 people walk in the door the first day in five hours. It was also my first time working the info desk so it we definitely a baptism by fire in terms of working the front desk.
I hope you week has gone well and that you are settling in to the joys of summer reading.

What About You?
How was your week? What awesome books did you add to your collection? Tell us all about it in the comments!
Oh wow that sounds crazy at the library! I know there must be pent-up demand but 500 people! Yikes! And ooh- a new Wendy Walker book? I read her last one and thought it was quite good!
Have a fabulous week!
Right!?!? My supervisor apologized after my shift. He said he didn’t think it would be that busy.
I liked Emma in the Night well enough so I’m about her next book.
Hope you have a great week as well!
Wow, 500 people on the first day sounds awesome and terrible at the same time, given the circumstances. I am glad you survived the day.
Elbow hugs, stay safe
500 people? Wow. That’s…a lot. Have a great week!
Great to see the library love. Happy reading.
