The Cup of Tea, Andre Derain, 1935

Daily Thoughts 09/04/2013

This morning, I read some more of Night Film on the way to work.  As the book progresses, the story gets darker, and starts delving into black magic, evil, and the machinations of the depraved.  It goes from being a story of the supernatural with touches of madness to being a story of depravity and black magic to the end.  There is a progression to the story which is a bit disturbing.  You might not call the novel a horror novel at the beginning, but towards the end it definitely is.

I checked the Twitter and Facebook for the library.  I also checked the displays and the gift books.  I placed an order for books today as well.  I have several copies of Publishers Weekly and a copy of the New York Times Book Review to read.

I spent some time putting together sign up sheets for the computer classes.  September is National Library Card Sign Up Month.

The New York State Library has a curriculum example list for basic computer classes.
