Franz Hals, Portrait of a Man Holding Book, Oil on Canvas Between 1640 and 1643
Daily Thoughts 6/22/2011
I spent a bit of time today coordinating the ordering. I also checked the Twitter account and the displays. I am spending a lot of time on reference lately, people are out on vacation.
The book, Tolstoy and the Purple Chair: My Year of Magical Reading by Nina Sankovitch has come in for me to read. I also spent some time today synching the Sony E-reader to download some free material so patrons can have something to check out. There are a lot of classics for free like the Complete Works of Williams Shakespeare, the Bible, and Alice in Wonderland.
Today has mostly been very quiet.
