Daily Thoughts 03/30/2013

I read some more of Publishing E-books for Dummies.  I am reading about two e-book creation software programs that are free, Calibre which creates epub documents, and i-books author which is a free app which can create multimedia ebooks.  These are both useful to know about.

I also spent some time on the social media for the library and on Linked In.

I took a break to take care of some things around the house.

I learned about the move of the Museum of Comics and Cartoon Art to the upper eastside and the decision to become part of the Society of Illustrators which I think will make the museum even better.
