June 3, 1992

I'm away from the library all day.  During the morning, I drop in at Radio Hall to participate in an ETN on the Americans with Disabilities Act and its implications on programs and services for public libraries.  Afterwards, I visit the library school library and find just the book I need "Reference Services for Children and Young Adults".  Linda Mundt checks it out on her card for me.  Now I can start to make some progress on the September workshop I agreed to do for the Lakeshores Library System.  Right now I have very little in the way of prepared materials.  I spend about an hour at University Bookstore noting titles to add to the classic paperback collection.

The OPAC subcommittee takes the entire afternoon to review three of seven proposals.  It's not as tortuous a process as I thought it might be.  I pick up the boys at daycare.  As soon as I get home, I notice that Ganser has left stacks of materials on the roof.  The project must be set to begin tomorrow.

Strange evening.  Although the weather is ideal, we don't venture outside.  Andy's content to veg out watching cartoons for awhile.  I can't get him to eat much of a supper, though that's not a problem with Eddie.  With outdoor play an extended activity at daycare now, baths have become a nightly ritual.

For a fleeting moment this morning, I wonder if taking this day off is such a good idea, if instead I should be at the library fine-tuning the budget and capital expenditures proposal.  But, as I said, it's just a fleeting thought.  I drive Andy to daycare and then bop along State Street for awhile. University Book Store doesn't stock the perfect photo album.  Rose Records has no CDs by the Youngbloods or Shawn Phillips, but I do purchase some reading matter at Pic-a-Book.  At Hilldale, I find a usable photo album at Walgreen's, of all places, for the postcard diaries.  I spent the rest of the morning and early afternoon at home.  I make an early appearance at Kids Play, but Andy and his fellow Bees are still napping.  While walking around the Square, I stop in at the Camera Co. to see what slide viewers they have in stock.  I buy the most expensive model; it's not battery-operated.  

JoAnna stops at Crandall's to pick up fish for supper.  I water the garden.  Barry and Mary drop off Megan so they can enjoy an evening out together.
