Brrr! The Perch is Cold!

Today is one of those days when this perch librarian wishes she was a snowbird on a perch somewhere nice and warm with abundant sunshine rather than on her usual one which has no heat today. 

If there's a sunny side to the library not having heat, it's the creativity that comes along with thinking up of different ways to get warm.  Here's my preliminary list of ideas on how to warm up in the library today:

1. Run around the stacks every so now and then.
2. Play DVDs that are set in tropical locales.
3. Have a book burning (my colleagues objected, but only because of fire regulations).
4. Practice book cart drills for the next ALA Conference.
5. Download the yule log video and run it on the desk computers.
6. Instead of books, ask for donations of coffee and tea.
7. Better yet, ask for donations of electric heaters.
8. Practice Maori nose-to-nose greetings (a.k.a "Hongi").
9. Hold a zumba class at the desk.
10. Have a game of touch football using a book in place of a football.

If anyone has any other ideas for keeping warm in the library, please post them to us!  And if you're stopping by to say hello, FYI: we love Starbucks!
