I guess a lot of that has to do with the array of tablets collected on these shelves.  That&#8217;s a lot of taxpayer money being protected there.  It&#8217;s a bummer, because I would have eyeballed every inch of that library.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bismarckmandanblog.com\/images\/2024\/07\/mhs_open_house_4705.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7961\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bismarckmandanblog.com\/images\/2024\/07\/mhs_open_house_4705.png 500w, https:\/\/www.bismarckmandanblog.com\/images\/2024\/07\/mhs_open_house_4705-150x100.png 150w, https:\/\/www.bismarckmandanblog.com\/images\/2024\/07\/mhs_open_house_4705-450x300.png 450w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>I worked at this desk at every opportunity I had, just like I&#8217;d done at Mandan Junior High School beforehand.  Checking out books, checking in books, putting books away, filing in the card catalog, the works.
