I heard that the MA Governor sent State workers home by 11:30 a.m., which gave me hope our Town Manager would send us all home before the storm arrived, too. But, since he kept us open (like <a href="http://www.swissarmylibrarian.net/?p=59" rel="nofollow">last year</a>), he must see the library as a vital Town service. I hope he remembers that at budget-cutting time.

Alas the people who worked in the other branches had to stay til 5. At least you didnt' get stuck in the five-hour leaving Boston traffic jam!

I'm sorry - but I love the ingenuity (especially the sign). I hope everyone got the information they were seeking via freshly shoveled walkways. Oh - it was 78 here today. Oh my gosh!
