Glee!

Been to a proper grown-up meeting of staff about the restocking of The Closed Library. It was even in a room with poor air conditioning and a glass of water that had been there for several days. There was a flip-chart in the corner but sadly it was left alone.

Things would be going surprisingly well if we'd had this meeting several months ago. Unfortunately we weren't, so there's a mild sense of crisis. I think it was roughly two thirds of the money to restock the library has been spent. Problems such as me being given £500 to spend on an area of stock on the computer which turned out to only have about £40 of stock were aired. It caused some amusement about the fact that anything remotely porn-related had fallen to me to buy, I really need that 'Librarian - Pervert - Warrior' T-shirt made for the reopening in the Autumn.

But the really good news is I've been given another £1000 to buy graphic novels for TCL. I'll be going on my own this time, so should give me a chance to get the things like Ultimates that I didn't get last time. But if anyone can think of anything that hasn't already cropped up here that's available in the UK let me know...

I'm pretty sure they'd have most of the stuff I mentioned, it's all pretty popular and well regarded stuff.
