All but Quite

As I entered the library Saturday November, 1st I didn't know that the day would be chaos. I walked through the front doors to see that the library was packed, and went into the backroom to find a 200 pound dog and some clowns running around. Now that room is for employees only... So I was pretty concerned. I proceeded to the main room to find that there were hundreds of people packed into the library, and that it was the library's 8th anniversary. Somehow I was the only person in Greece that had no idea this was taking place, and I worked there. The event included Free donuts, cider, and soup. There was a live band, crafts for the kids, promotional goods, mini-golf, entertainers, the 200 pound dog, and even those guys that draw an animated version of your face. You know, the ones that cost like 10 dollars at amusement parks? Those guys. All of this was packed in front of, behind and in shelves. The quite study room had been reduced to a cavern full of echoes from the raucous in the main room. I therefore pity anyone who actually wanted to study. This was all put on hold for speeches from various important local officials, including Joe Robach and John Auberger. As you can imagine, books were returned in massive proportions that day. It was my job to clear the book drops, and sort the books on appropriate carts to be shelved. I broke a sweat that day. It was a wierd day.
