[Noisebridge-discuss] the library book game

[jim]

here's an update on library stuff: 
* there's a new, main book shelf on the wall by the ]
darkroom. it needs a little more screwing in, but it 
seems good enough to hold books. 
* there's an electronics book shelf near the 
electronics work space 
* there is supposed to be a hack-these book shelf in 
the big-pile-of-hackable-crap area 
* there are supposed to be a couple more book shelves 
in the space for fun type books or whatever. 

* there are books in the main book shelf. these are 
books that somebody wants to have in the space. 
* there are books in the old metal book shelves. the 
assumption is that someone wants these to be in the 
space. 
* there are books in boxes near the old metal book 
shelves: MANY OF THESE HAVE NOT YET BEEN DONATED TO 
NOISEBRIDGE. and some of them have been donated. 

   the library book game is 
* to move all the books in the old metal shelves over 
to the new main shelf. once that's done we'll have 
more shelves for members. 
* move all the boxes of books over near the new main 
book shelves 
* dig through the books in the boxes. 
   any that you would like to see kept in the space, 
move them to a box labeled "wanted" or some such; 
they'll be put in the new main book shelf. 
   any that you think are horrible crap, move them 
to a box so labeled; they'll be candidates for the 
big-pile-of-hackable-crap. 
   dig through books in the "horrible crap" box and 
move any that you'd like to see kept in the space to 
the "wanted' box (no, don't dig into the "wanted" box 
to see what you think is horrible crap). 

   from time to time, one of the three NB librarians 
will move books from the wanted box to the new main 
book shelves (this is so's to inventory and accept 
the books that have not yet been donated--there's a 
501(c)3 receipt involved, so we've got to keep track). 
   a librarian will also either move the horrible crap 
books to the big-pile-of-hackable-crap or return them 
to the would-be donor. 

   if you don't do it, someone else will. if you like 
the idea of books and a NB library, have at.
