Our second time to Multnomah Public Library to help them add Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) to each and every book. Today we were in the children's section! It was helping the library and hanging out with kids' books all in one. (= Heaven) We were in pairs, working with our own "crash carts" equipped with all the supplies and technology required. The task involved putting an RFID sticker in the front cover of a book, scanning the existing bar code to match that data to the new tag. Hand the completed book to your partner, he or she swipes the spine tag with a yellow Sharpee marker, and you're on to the next one. In 2.5 hours, we converted 1,602 books. Not too shabby for a rainy Sunday morning.
