Daily Thoughts 11/8/2011
This morning, I checked the Twitter and Facebook accounts for the library. I also did some practice on Lynda.com for Publishers 2010. In addition, I read a little more of The Letters of Robert Frost to Louis Untermeyer. The book reminded me that I should probably read some of Emily Dickinson's poetry which I have never read.

I find it interesting that the author is donating 500 copies to Occupy Wall Street Libraries. It seems to be a way to brand himself as part of the movement.
