Daily Thoughts 04/18/2013
I checked the Twitter and Facebook for the library this morning. I also checked the displays. Today is Poem In Your Pocket Day, April 18, 2013. http://www.poets.org/page.php/prmID/406
I noticed that the Baen Free Library is under reconstruction.

It reminds me that many authors are reclaiming their books so they can setup websites and sell their own books.
This years theme for Adult Summer Reading is Groundbreaking Reads. We are going to discuss this tomorrow. I spent a little bit of time thinking about advocacy in support of libraries.
The computer lab is open from 2:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. today. I spent some time reading through Romantic Times online, Locus Magazine online, and Shelf Awareness.
