Like all of us, the Librarians and Staff at the UCBA Library have settled into a new routine of working at home. We invite you to see how we keep the (virtual) lights on at the Library while still providing support to our UCBA community.
I’m Christian Boyles, the Collection Services Manager at your UCBA Library. Here’s a quick tour of my new workspace.
-
- Here is my repurposed dining room. One of the things I am enjoying about my new workspace is having windows and loads of natural light.
-
- This is a close-up of my desk. My wife is working on a 1000 piece Will Moses puzzle of Salem, Massachusetts in 1692. We don’t have many large flat surfaces at home, so the dining room table is pulling triple duty at the moment.
-
- I even brought a book cart home with me with all my processing supplies, files, and notes.
-
- I also have two new co-workers, Yuri and Gabby, who frequently demand meetings with me.
-
- It’s a good thing they’re pretty lazy and sleep through most of their shift.
-
- Since the weather has been good, I’ve been able to bring my laptop out to my patio and have a nice cup of tea in the sun.
Thanks for stopping by my office and I hope you are doing well, staying healthy, and I hope to see you soon again in the Library.
