Today I (June 25)

Today I:
- Processed board books (checked against invoice, stickered)
- Straightened children’s room
- Shelved readers (we were WIPED OUT)
- Worked on book order.
Things I’ve been thinking about as I’ve been working on the book order:
- I have a strong tendency to pick books with female protagonists and more stereotypically female activities. I actually went through, book by book, and put hashmarks in my notebook for male and female protagonists to get them up to something resembling parity.
- I tried to pick books with a historical fiction bent to them, since I’m also going to be creating a historical fiction book list this summer, and it seems like a good thing to buy books to support it, even if they’re uncatalogued.
- I also tried to pick books from different genres than I usually read (mostly fantasy and SF) in order to get a better balance in. I also tried to get books that would support our neighborhood population, which is pretty heavily Jewish.
