Paul Signac, Still Life With A Book, 1883

Daily Thoughts 06/19/2013

I checked the Twitter and Facebook for the library this morning.  I also checked the displays.  I am spending a little time going over our back orders right now with Baker and Taylor.  Our first order for books from Ingram has come in.  I also spent a little time talking with Apress about a show special they had at Book Expo America.

I spent some time reading Library Journal and I have two isses of the New York Times Book Review to read.  I am also planning on ordering some graphic novels from the New York Times Bestseller lists for graphic novels and manga as well as the Diamond Comic Distributors bestseller list for graphic novels.  Diamond Comic Distributors: Top 100 Graphic Novels: May 2013 http://www.diamondcomics.com/Home/1/1/3/597?articleID=135747  New York Times Graphic Novel Bestsellers http://www.nytimes.com/best-sellers-books/paperback-graphic-books/list.html

The  Mount Vernon Public Library Board of Trustees meeting is at the library tonight starting at 6:30 p.m.
