Short post today. This is where I spent much of my time at Mandan High School: the library. I read a lot of car magazines, science magazines, books, and whatever else I could get my hands on in this place.

Unfortunately, most of the library was roped off. I guess a lot of that has to do with the array of tablets collected on these shelves. That’s a lot of taxpayer money being protected there. It’s a bummer, because I would have eyeballed every inch of that library.

I worked at this desk at every opportunity I had, just like I’d done at Mandan Junior High School beforehand. Checking out books, checking in books, putting books away, filing in the card catalog, the works. There’s even a photo of me working this desk in one of my high school yearbooks.

I bet they’re going to have a pretty fantastic “libary” (for those of you from Rio Linda) in the new place. Looks like they’re hopeful! That’s a good sign. Do kids still read car magazines?

We’re on the home stretch. I alluded to a couple of interesting things in previous posts, and I need to make sure I tie up those loose ends. Y’all come back real soon, now…
