I want to thank all those staff who have sweated (literally and figuratively) through this first week back at work. Extremes of temperatures are always hard to cope with, whether it be hot or cold, and temperatures recently have certainly been extreme. Our summers are so often cool and the library workspaces equally are cool or even cold so the heat, while welcome in summer, has been very trying.

So thank you to everyone who persisted through these hot days and I hope the rest of summer is warm but more moderate for us all.
