The Dewey Decimals Do Balloons
September 10, 2008
The office (that word by the way, stems from the Latin officium), of theĀ person highly trained in the organization and management of information services or materials for those with information needs at the Century Branch Library was filled with He, a colorless, odorless, tasteless, non-toxic, inert monatomic chemical element that heads the noble gas group in the periodic table and whose atomic number is 2.
In other words, it was Century Library Librarian Pat Rigel’s birthday today, and her office was filled with balloons by her coworkers. The balloons were filled with He…helium.
She said this was birthday number 29, again.
And, by the way, if you did not understand all that in the first paragraph, those definitions are just one of the many things you can learn at the Century Branch Library.
