This morning I checked the Facebook and Twitter for the library.

I am staying home today to get some rest.  I have been a bit under the weather.  I have been drinking a lot of tea and relaxing.

There is a program at the library today from the Women's Enterprise Development Center from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. in the community room, Financial Readiness for Successful Entrepreneurs. http://www.mountvernonpubliclibrary.org/WEDCFirstStepsProgram  WEDC also does outreach to the Hispanic community, http://wedcbiz.org/page/wedc-en-espanol

I wish I could have gone to the Book2Camp Unconference, it looked quite interesting.

His writing is very enjoyable to read, I especially liked Wizard of the Crow.
