Saturday August 11th, we met early in the morning at 7:00 AM (for those of us who could get up that early) to start stocking the library shelves. Jan, Mary Harper, John and Chris Davis were among the first to arrive. Sam opened up the school for Jan and she was already working when we arrived. The birthday girl was in full swing. Sam had the boxes brought in from the trailers whichwas a great help. We proceeded to start to stack the books and then when Suzie came in we asked the questions needed before we went too far. Ann brought in donuts, Chris brought in a cake and Suzie brought in a dump cake, which was delicious. Chris Small brought in some bottled water. Chris Small ran the short meeting and we all sang Happy Birthday to Jan. We had some members come in and help and as some had to leave others came. A lot was accomplished in 4+ hours we were there. There was definitely more books than there was shelves. But we made a big dent in it and were glad to help out. Here are some pictures I took along the way.

There were groups working both sides of the library.
Team work it what we had Saturday and that is what was needed too.

Sitting on the job? No I think Jerry was handing books off the floor and he was ready to get up, better him than I. I would still be down there.
Those of us who were left, took a picture with the birthday girl, Jan. I don't know where she gets her energy from.
Here the group was covering their ears as the fire alarms were being tried out and I can say that if someone couldn't hear it, then..........
