Library [9/18]

[agentthepaper]

As Yomiko opened the library Monday morning, she wondered whether she should take the sign announcing the new library aides down now, or leave it up a little longer just in case. She finally decided to go ahead and leave it up.

First Period

Ms. Readman was behind the desk sipping coffee. Delicious, caffeine-laden coffee.

Second Period

[agentthepaper]

Ms. Readman was working on paperwork. The library seemed to have some discretionary funds, so she set out a stack of book request forms to give her an idea of what the students wanted ordered.

This may, in retrospect, have been a mistake.

Third Period

Yomiko checked her e-mail and found an e-mail from Mr. Joker asking whether she'd found anything yet. She stared at it for a long time, wondering how to explain Special Collections, before deleting it. Maybe she could claim she hadn't seen it.

Fourth Period

[agentthepaper]

Ms. Readman was in her office with the door shut making a phone call. Occasionally, her voice would rise to the point of audibility on hysterical statements such as, "I know what I saw!"

Lunch

[agentthepaper]

The library was closed to all but the library aides for lunch. The door to Yomiko's office was open again, and she was eating her lunch, leftover Chinese takeaway, behind her desk.

Fifth Period

Ms. Readman was behind the collections desk, reading a copy of the collected works of Emily Dickinson. Honestly, she'd never really cared for Emily Dickinson, but she'd never admit it out loud.

Sixth Period

[agentthepaper]

Dear Emily sure does seem to have a thing for flies, doesn't she?

Seventh Period

[agentthepaper]

Ms. Readman was tidying up the library in preparation for the end of the day, reshelving books, putting chairs back in their proper places. The usual.

The End. La.
