New Developments

It was another cold day in the SCS library. I was warned that that space gets very hot, but so far it has been quite the opposite. To make it a little more comfortable for the resource students who have class in there, I brought a little space heater from home. Mrs. N(unez) and I wondered aloud if perhaps the uncovering of some previously undiscovered upper vents affected something with the heating unit. It is also possible that our white wall, which now is an outside wall is not so well insulated and may be giving us greater exposure to the elements. The radiator in the Elementary Room was working...and stirred me to make some furniture moves in order to get the pillows away from it. The computer nearest to the door is now in the HS Library Room (not hooked up, but physically in that space on the white wall) and the doggie bed with pillows moved into the corner. The two rugs nearest the door also were moved closer to the doggie bed and the easel, chair, guitar and a/c unit were reshuffled and placed again behind the door.

In the center of the Elementary Room, there was a photocopier next to the printer on the old card catalog. The copier was moved to free up a working surface for those of us who do the circulation. The copier is now in the office, awaiting another furniture reshuffle so that it can be plugged in there. Most of the wall space in the office is covered from the floor up by furniture so we had to do some crawling under the desk and looking behind things with a flashlight before the much sought out electrical outlet was discovered...hiding behind the big black file cabinet to the right of the doorway. Another curious discovery was the radiator behind a wall of bookshelves in the office. We are not plugging the copier in until we are sure we have all the furniture arranged in the most efficient and safe configuration.
