it's that time again. . .

SCHOOL BOOK FAIR!! I've always loved the school book fair. . .all those brand new books. . .the choices. . .

Well, I don't know if you've been lately, but school librarians are very deserving of your prayers right now. I'm not sure what the average school librarian makes, but they should have a combat pay clause just for book fairs. Those kids are nuts! There's mini people all over the library waving books and shouting (yes, in a library) and talking to their friends and holding books and laughing and touching all the stuff on the dollar table. It's enough to send my blood pressure through the roof, apparently. . .(more on that later)

Lesson of the day: NEVER schedule a doctor's visits after a visit to a book fair and NEVER even think about substituting for a school librarian--especially during book fair week!!
