Daily Thoughts 9/28/2011
I read some more of The Swerve in the morning. It describes the crumbling of Roman philosophy as Rome fell. The book also describes how the library at Alexandria was eventually destroyed with the
waning of classical philosophy.
This morning, I checked the Twitter and Facebook account, looked over the displays, and checked on some upcoming programs. I am starting to plan for programs in January and February. I am also starting to learn a little bit more of how the website works. I spent a little bit more time on Lynda.com learning about Microsoft Word 2007.
I also did some weeding in the graphic novels section.
We opened the computer lab today to help people with their job search between 12:00 p.m. and 3:00 p.m.. There is a steady increase in the number of people coming in searching for jobs.
Two books came in for me to read, the graphic novel, Ray Bradbury's The Martian Chronicles The Authorized Adaptation by Dennis Calero and Visual Quickstart Guide InDesign CS5 by Sandee Cohen.

Amazon Tablet Price Could be a Big Attraction

This article is quite interesting because it puts a tablet at $249 very close to the price of an E-reader. There is also the recent partnership between the Kindle and Overdrive. Overdrive is the content provider for ebooks for the Westchester Library System.
