[MinervaCats] Please join me . . in Westbrook

[Marian Peterson]

Good day to my fellow Southern Maine MinervaCats:

 

On June 13, Saturday, from 9:00am to 3:00pm, I am conducting a
Catalog-in.  A what?  Never heard of a Catalog-in!?  Well, let me
explain!

 

As head of adult services at Walker Memorial Library, I have received
the generous gift of 25,000 adult books from Warren Memorial Library.
In addition to doing my regular daily job, I am responsible for
integrating these new titles into the Walker collection.  It has been a
challenge of huge proportions.

 

Our library is not open to the public on June 13th.  I would like to ask
for a few volunteer catalogers to come and join the fun a few hours at a
time.  If you would like to see the tsunami of books and have fun
integrating books into our collection, consider joining us.  Lots of
food...good cheer....a few jokes...camaraderie...eternal gratefulness
from Westbrook citizens and staff...what more?  Your name will be
immortalized in The Maine Cataloger's Hall of Fame!

 

Please respond if you have a few hours to share.  I would enjoy your
company. :-)

 

Further note:  We are not doing original cataloging.  We are checking
the catalog for duplicates and determining "best copy."  Then, we add
and/or delete.  This takes Minerva-cataloging knowledge and a huge dose
of commonsense.

 

Looking forward to hearing from you,

 

Marian
