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...
