When writing the original Tales from the "Liberry" blog, I often wrote multi-part stories some of which would span a week at a time. In July of 2008, I began a 21 part epic story called Moving Days that not only chronicled the journey my wife and I made in moving from Tri-Metro to a new home in Borderland, but also my library's move into a brand new building. And I finished that epic story in September.

The thing is, I'd been playing something of the unreliable narrator for a while before starting that particular tale. This was mostly due to the fact that I'd not actually alerted any of my readers to my library moving buildings, even though that particular move had occurred well over a year previous. Yep. Just forgot to mention it. Hoped no one noticed. Just went right on writing stories set within the new library, but failed to make note that the tales occurred in a new library. And since you can't move the contents of a library from one building to another without a bunch of drama, there were loads of stories I'd been itching to tell for quite some time (some of which have already been adapted previously on this podcast). So Moving Days laid it all out and told the tale in somewhat less-excruciating detail than it actually occurred, but possibly more detail than it needed to.

This episode part 1 of a 2 part episode which adapts some of that tale in even less excruciating detail. Included in Part 1 is the battle between my library and Rogue Patron Mr. Smiley, Second Grumpiest Old Man in all the World, with the fate of the new library project in the balance.
