Daily Thoughts 4/26/2011
This morning I read some more of The Earthshakers by Harold Lamb. The book was originally published as The March of the Barbarians and Tamerlane. It has that old fashioned feel of history written with an upright Rome, an exotic East, and pillaging hordes of barbarians.
Today has been quiet and steady. I checked the displays and checked the gift books. We received some donations of books on music. One of the books, The Beatles Anthology written in 2000 is the first book by the Beatles on the history of the Beatles. It is a quarto book and has lots of photographs.
As usual I updated the Twitter account and entered some more surveys for the library. We are going to be ordering again soon which should be a nice change.
I put the book, All The Lives He Led by Frederik Pohl on hold today. It is his newest book.
I am thinking ahead about a discount to Book Expo America http://www.bookexpoamerica.com/ which is on May 23-26 this year. It should be excellent. I registered for the May 23, 2011 Day of Dialog Today http://www.libraryjournal.com/lj/articlereview/889795-457/story.csp
