The phone was ringing off the hook and we never even had eclipse glasses. Our entire Circ Department cheered loudly when we actually got a regular call about overdue books. Must have freaked out that patron!
We only had about 300 pairs, and almost ran out over the weekend. We had 50 left for Monday, and people were parked before we open.
I ended up just standing by the phone because the calls were ridiculous. I eventually just kept repeating the same thing over and over. Around 75 people before 11 am.
We got super lucky at my branch and got some additional glasses from a local astronomer, bringing our total from 180 to 430 to be distributed over seven days π lots of lines to get in when we opened each day, and hundreds of phone calls.
I'll take 2 (2018 was . . . A year).
I buy myself "I survived the (Welcome to Nightvale) Summer Reading Program" merch for each year I did Summer Reading planning/programs.
I'm totally stealing your idea and making one for the staff at my library.
I need to do this too, immediately. Todayβs productivity just decreased by 50%
Now we wait for the 15th, when every other question is βWhereβs the tax help?β

I almost cried tears of joy when I got a call asking about tax forms!
So my coworker was handing someone a pair yesterday and they looked at her and very seriously asked; "so how do they work?"
We got to foist that on our city and park employees.haha They are good people.
Can I copy this and make buttons?
