Daily Thoughts 07/18/2014

I checked the library Facebook and Twitter this morning.  I also checked the displays and gift books.  I spent some time working with the oversize books.

There is an Ice Cream Social today at 3:30 p.m. in the community room.  I passed out some flyers for the different summer reading programs; for adult, teen and tween, and children's programs.

I picked out two Advance Readers Editions to read, Dataclysm Who We Are* Wen No One's Looking by Christian Rudder which is nonfiction and Station Eleven a Novel by Emily St. John Mandel.
