As I was sitting at my desk on my lunch break, alternating between sorting emails and watching YouTube videos about different ways to die in Skyrim it occurred to me: I work at a library, why am I not taking advantage of the wealth of knowledge at my disposal? So I came up with a plan, a plan to read a book from every shelf in the Columbia Public Library.
Of course I have put into place some limitations so here are some ground rules:
1. Non-fiction only. I don't have the time or patience to read every teen vampire romance novel. (though I might take advantage of the graphic novel section at some point, though I have burned through most of that section already)
2. 1 book chosen from each shelf at my discretion, if I choose to select another from that shelf, that is ok.
3. No time limit. I started working at the library in 2011, I wholeheartedly plan on retiring here so that gives me roughly 35-40 years to play with, God willing.
4. I must read at least 100 pages before checking it back in. Some things are just not going to float my boat, no need to force myself.
5. I must read at least 1 hour a day. That's going to be hard with 2 jobs and a newborn, but I want to set an example.

 I decided to start from the back and work my way forward,so from the 977-998.20 section:

 my first selection is: 981.064 LEB - Where the Road Ends: A home in the Brazilian Rainforest by Binka Le Breton

Wish me luck!
