At the library

Yesterday I let Gus out of the stroller at the library. This meant that while trying to read an article in a periodical, I ran to the reference section, the circulation department and the video display. I was in and out of the children's gazebo (a reading corner) seventeen times. I circled around the child-sized tables every four minutes, zoomed to the picture book section to rescue the order of the dewey decimal system, reshelved twelve DVD's and six chapter books, helped Gus on and off a small chair five times and made sure he didn't dump the entire bucket of crayons on the floor.
