Settling In
Library assistant Dorothy Brown is stamping new books bought for the library over the summer and putting cards inside the back cover--cards stamped with "Maynard School."
"These were already stamped," she says. "Because we don't have a new name, we're still using them."
Librarian Julia Smith says the school department allowed her $10,000 to buy the new books and paid for an architect to help her design the layout of new shelves in the library.
But the new shelves are nowhere to be seen.
Smith gets a call in mid-afternoon, telling her there might be another delay.
"I was hoping for the end of October," she says. "Now there's a good possibility the furniture wouldn't be delivered until Nov. 11."
