Workroom shelf for library technical services

White shelf with three levels on a counter-top. Library workroom supplies are arranged on each of the three levels. On the top level, supplies include a wire basket with boxes in it, and a jar and metal cup that hold scissors, pens, pica pole, knitting needles, brushes, and other tools. They sit atop a green cloth that has purple-paisley patterning. The shelf's middle level includes envelopes inside a plastic bag, thick-stroke black markers, a glue stick, date- and address-stamp and ink-pad, and a box that holds due-date slips and sheets of colored dots. The shelf's bottom level contains a row of boxes, each containing book-spine labels to indicate genre or audience: 'Bilingual,' 'Español,' 'Fantasy,' 'Graphic Novel,' 'Historical Fiction,' 'Sports,' and 'Young Adult.'

An old shelf, left by the side of the road, has new purpose in SRCSA library. It’s the perfect size to hold my supplies for processing and repairing books. I’m glad that I happened upon this shelf and that I was able to repurpose it.
