Daily Thoughts 10/1/2013

This morning, I checked the Twitter and Facebook for the library. I also checked the displays and the gift books. I spent a little time weeding in the oversize books. I also did a little bit of work preparing for programs. I worked on the rough drafts for two flyers and sent them in to have the graphic designer redo them.

I am preparing for a little more discussion of the different digital media services which we have on Friday.

The Computer Lab is open from 2:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. today. I have been sending people there for print jobs and looking up email. We also have two computer classes tonight, a Microsoft Word class, and a Fundamentals of Computer Operations class.
