Library volunteer

Reposted from Avery's blog:

On Friday, I went to volunteer at a church library not far away. After picking up a friend, we set off on our bikes to the library. There, I found out exactly how they bind books for safety, number them, sort their titles, etc. I had a lot of fun, actually. And the person who helped me and my friend let us bring home one of the books each they were going to get rid of*, and also supplied us with chocolate chip cookies and lemonade halfway through. (Mmm... chocolate... my favorite!) After a little while, (what seemed like 30 minutes) I checked the clock and was appalled to find we had been going for two hours! After about another 30 minutes of work, the library was about done. Thanking the helping person a million times, me and my friend left the library and rode home. Fun!

*The book I took home from the library was called "Roman Art and Architecture" by Mortimer Wheeler. It's really interesting already, and I've barely read two pages.
