Blood and Bruises

These are the lengths I go to in order to acquire free books at a library conference. Yes, those are bruises on my arm and blood that dripped from my finger onto my conference schedule, both the result of carrying 325 books from the exhibit hall floor back five blocks to my hotel.

      I filled a backpack and a big bag. That was about forty books. I carried them back to the hotel.

      They wouldn't allow us to take a wheeled cart onto the exhibit hall floor.

    Looks painful. You must be quite strong to carry that number of books.

    I'm sure this hurt, but that picture is awesome as proof of what we'll do to get books. And free books at that! I can't believe you got 352.

    Free books would be worth banging your legs into things and even a minor cut while carrying them.
