Living la vida librarica

Okay, pop culture reference to Ricky Martin for those who didn't get the title.

After going with Tom to get the new snow blower and helping unload it, I took off for my volunteer work at the library. Again the time went fast. I did The List (gathering up the books from our library that have been requested for interlibrary loan by other libraries in the system) and then joined another volunteer writing out labels for BOC -- books on cassette.

Driving into the Dells was interesting because of the way the snow has been plowed. I don't know if they have decided to stop pushing it off to the side because there is not enough room anymore. Where we used to have diagonal parking by the library there is now only room for parallel parking, which does not accommodate many cars. At any rate , on the major streets -- ususally four lanes -- now there is one cleared lane in each direction with a two-foot-high bank of snow between them. It looks like those concrete barriers they put up to divide traffic in some places, and maybe the idea is to keep the traffic separated and provide a buffer for cars that otherwise might skid into on-coming traffic. Who knows?

Be careful out there.
