Ah, we have a little office on the inside of the building, with about
20 names on it already. A place to drop your coat before heading for
the library, i guess. So I hope to have some help with the books I'm
donating to the library. Many papers, like old extra exam copies will
just go to recycling. A lot of stuff, will have to find boxes, &
then...?
I'm not sure 2 months is enough!
I also cannot bring home (m) any books etc. No room, & I know it.
(one just sort of bumbled on, accumulating, & thinking this day would
never [quite] come)
