[aisle] Circulation desks and library renovation

[Betsy Yager]

My district tore out my circ. desk over the summer and I still haven't
gotten the new one.  So right now I just have a small table and I HATE it!
I have to constantly go into the office to get labels and other supplies.
I don't know what the new desk will be like, but I hope it has some storage.
