People are hungry.
We got the new Bujold book donated by SCP and processed, along with many other new donated books.
KKB cleared off half of the Star Chamber shelf.
The library digested books. A *lot* was done.
MagDex party this weekend! Come! It will be at 1 PM on Saturday.

Motion to commiserate with CAK: 17-0-2 + Spehn
All hear! The Undu adhesive remover is in the Onseck drawer, not missing.
We need to move the purge boxes, preferably before term starts. Email mitsfs@ to say you want to help and what weekends you are free.
Lots of books were repaired, including the second Bartimaeus book. Yay!
We found and processed second copies of Gardens of the Moon and of The Jennifer Morgue, as both of them are always checked out.

Motion to commend the pseudo-Skinner for admitting his deep and abiding hatred of Fragile Things: 7-4-2 + Spehn
CJT: ``You caught me [in my hatred of Fragile Things]. Oh no.''
These minutes are going to be really long. There are too many committee reports. Too much library work was done this week!
CJT: ``Not enough library work was done, dammit!'' KKB: ``How much of it did *you* do?''
Let the record show that the pseudo-Skinner did ``very important things.'' Which are not fragile.
BING!

BING!

Digression about Alice in Wonderland.
CJT's family is in Cambridge, and half an hour ago said they didn't know where they were but were 15 minutes away... they still aren't here... Hey, they showed up!
