first post!

Hey all, it's Kirsten - welcome to the church library blog! My plan is to post here when I make progress, discover or learn something, or just find something to share. This blog will also be a bit of a record keeper for me to track how I apply the knowledge I learn as I return to complete my BS in Library Science. The first phases of the library will be as follows:

  1. Rearrange what we have into a coherent and browsable collection, separated by genre
  2. Cover the books, section by section
  3. Catalog the books and make sure they are available via LibraryThing
  4. Find and add new books!!
I've already put together an order for Brodart which contains book covering supplies, spine labels, genre labels, and stamps - also, a list for Staples for library-only supplies. It's enough to get us started and keep me busy for a while. One of the most time-consuming parts will be covering and taking care of the paperback books. They all need weeding as well as the usual care, and it's hard to pick which books leave and make their way to the Annex. Given time, though, they should be pared down and made available.
