Still Life With Bible, Vincent Van Gogh, 1885

Daily Thoughts 11/12/2014

I checked the library Twitter and Facebook this morning.  I checked the displays this morning.  I also checked the gift books.  There was a donation with some urban fiction books which could be added.  There is quite a bit that can be added.

The card stock and the paper for the chapbooks came in today.  The Poetry Workshop is tonight.

I have a copy of the New York Times Book Review and the Ingram Advance to read.

We are meeting to discuss grants in the afternoon at 3:00 p.m.

I placed the book, The Glass Cage: Automation and Us by Nicholas Carr on hold.

There is a class on Microsoft Publisher tonight from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.

The new people who are covering the public computers are doing a solid job.  Things are running smoothly.
