Volunteering

I have been volunteering at the Edenvale Branch Library for almost a whole year. All I do is shelf movies, and sometimes children's books. It's quite boring. And I'm not the only one complaining, even the people that work there get bored. I see them constantly, looking at the time, and they are always saying things like "Only 30 minutes left," or "Man! The clock's so slow!" But the funny thing is when the manager comes in they put a lock on their lips. 
Even though it's boring sometimes it's quite an interesting place. There is a lot of drama. The drama doesn't take place with the coworkers, but the people that come to the library. Once one of the workers was helping out someone, and this one guy complained to the manager that the he wasn't helping him. Of course the manager got pissed. The truth was that the worker was just helping someone else at the time the guy asked him.

I love volunteering at Vineland Library. There was this little girl in the children's section that was crying really loudly. Then I walked past her and smiled and she cried even more. oops. : / However as soon as I began to shelve the books, she stopped crying and I noticed that she was concentrating on how I knew where to put the books. Afterwards, she follows me and begins to remove all the books I shelved so, I had to do them again.
