Hurrah?

I think I half-believed my work of yesterday would be undone again. But it was still there, happily, and I got to spend a couple of hours at the charity shop improving on that still. Got the non-fiction sorted and shelved by broad categories (think I forgot a few yesterday), should be much more maintainable henceforth. Got thanked a couple of times for the work I put into organising their book displays too, which was admittedly gratifying.

A customer had wanted to buy a CD of educational children's games, but I could not find a disc in the book to match the case he brought to the counter, nor could I find cases for the alternative discs I recommended to him even after going through them all. This is disappointing. Hopefully I can wrangle my way into organising the rest of their media merchandise too, before my time there is done. I don't like being asked for help and not being able to provide.

Toy library went well too. Found out one of the library staff has volunteered to be support for the toy library until a new official toy librarian is secured, so that sessions can continue running and momentum can be maintained in the meanwhile. Mostly straightforward in execution today. A very satisfying finish, and some of the other volunteers had secreted a farewell card to which I added some words of my own... presumably it will be found at some point before the toy librarian leaves, or be mysteriously delivered when she least expects it. But I couldn't speak to that.
