Alfonse Mucha, 1896, Lorenzacchio.  

Daily Thoughts 05/07/2013

I checked the Twitter and Facebook for the library last night.  This morning, I checked the displays and gift books.  I added a few books from the gifts.  I also spent some time updating the Bookletters page with new titles.  I still have more to do.

Two books came in for me to read, Debt The First 5000 Years by David Graeber which is a nonfiction book, and Charles E. Gannon Fire With Fire which is science fiction.  Someone requested a few books by Wendy Williams who is a popular television personality.  She has written both fiction and nonfiction books.

I saw an interesting event, Bike The Branches which is on Saturday, May 11, 2013.  It is a fundraiser for Brooklyn Public Library.  http://misc.brooklynpubliclibrary.org/btb/

This afternoon, I spent some time weeding and shifting in the 900s.  I also thought a bit about the Adult Summer Reading Book Club.

I also learned that you can post your Bookletters pages to Facebook and Twitter which is an interesting way of letting people know what new books you have.

On the way home, I read some of Fire With Fire.  I had really several sample chapters from the Baen website.http://bit.ly/10ona0A
