Library, Thursday

[genesishero]

Yes, Evan knew that there still weren't any classes this week. Evan was also really pretty ready to get back to classes, and knowing that there would be new students -and a new librarian- here the day after tomorrow had him pretty excited for the coming semester. And that was why he'd stopped by for his usual shift today, to make certain that everything was in order for the start of the spring semester and any new kids that might want to wander through, and to make the transition into working in this particular library as smooth as possible for the new librarian.

Mostly, since the island had been so quiet over the break, this meant watching the books in the children's section play leapfrog over one another, just to be sure they didn't wander too far away for him to put back on the shelf before the end of his shift.

"There's a bookstore in town," she said lightly. "You could have been there. I thought of checking so that I could stop by the Perk for a drink but, on reflection, thought here was more likely."

It had been, so Yeul felt like that counted as a victory of some sort.

"Have the books been playing all day?"

"Most of it!" And what a day it had been. So, so much leapfrog. "I think they've been bored too, with everyone on vacation. And... you know, I haven't actually been to the bookstore yet? I mean, I know it's there, but the library has so many books for me to work through already, and they're all free!"

Free was a much more affordable price for a kid whose part-time job involved giving pep-talks to self-help books.
