CATALOGUING PARTY THIS SATURDAY
The Iron Rail is volunteer-run. We're here because we CARE, and one of the things we care about passionately is finding the best method for cataloguing our library. Finally, we have arrived at that method. We've sorted it all out, every detail of it, and will never have to address the issue in any capacity whatsoever at any time in the future ever again. To celebrate this, we are having a CATALOGUING/LABELING PARTY this Saturday afternoon at 1:30 PM.
WHAT IS A CATALOGUING/LABELING PARTY?
We are gonna go through our whole library and label each book with its category and shelve it alphabetically and catalogue it by hand
WHERE'S THE FUN IN THAT?
Don't knock it 'til you've tried it. This is librarianism at the fringe. Didn't you read that clipping your mom sent you about how it's cool to be a librarian? She was right. Not right about you going to library school, but definitely right about it being cool.
Tintin, Snowy and the cast of sesame street will be there. Fat, fluffy goblins, their dreddy gnarls combed out and their fur gently, organically shampooed, will be there, be-ribboned, dispensing loving hugs. You may cry into their absorbent, fleecy nap, and the internal pressure that's been building up for weeks will dissipate, leaving you cleansed and calm. This will be a deeply healing cataloguing party.
BUT IT WILL ALSO BE FUN.

what kind of pretentious fake brit uses a u?
grey, theatre, plough, skilful, leapt, pyjamas. Guilty as charged.
At least I didn't get called Canadian... now that would sting!
THE GOBLINS WERE A NO-SHOW
i am deeply disappointed I didn't find out about this in time... also i am quite disappointed in myself, for falling for the iron rail's "mailing" list ploy. ha. i know realize that you all just sold my email address to nigerian scam artists who want to help me increase my "girth" and her pleasure. i'm sure my money was well spent on champagne and some kind of processed soy product for you slackers, too. shame!!!

how funny to see my writing up on that site, even in heavily sanitized partial paraphrase.
I hope we get a good turnout for The Trap.
yes, the trap is an excellent movie and worth your time for sure!
