<p>hey marcus, welcoming folx, all,</p>
<p>thanks for all this – wish i was around this month to help more.
will definitely sign up for a front desk shift upon return! <br>
</p>
<p>being a book lover, sad to hear the library isn't part of the
vision for the future of the entrance hall. i get that not having
someone looking after the library makes it less useful and less
attractive. i guess the plan is to get rid of ALL of the
shelves/books? i kinda wish i'd known that was part of what
"beautifying" meant; i might have felt more motivated to try to
come to the welcoming meetings and try to find an option that
doesn't mean getting rid of EVERYTHING. of course i know this
isn't your first email about this, & the meeting notes have
been getting logged, so it's on me for not knowing. it's just we
get so many emails (long ones! many of us could work on brevity! i
like to use a word counter for this...), it's hard to keep up with
things primarily communicated that way...<br>
</p>
<p>sigh. <br>
</p>
<p>sorry if this is annoying... just, dunno, publicly mourning.</p>
<p>anyway, overall very excited about what y'all are up to, and
appreciate it very much. </p>
<p>happy mothers day,</p>
<p>julian<br>
