Daily Thoughts 04/04/2015
I checked the Twitter and Facebook for the library this morning.
I also read some more of To Explain the World the Discovery of Modern Science. I am reading about Copernicus and the heliocentric model of the solar system.
I checked the gift books and the displays this morning. The poster for National Poetry Month is out.
I spent some time working on the large print books. I also spent some time on the survey. I changed a few things for programs as well.
I worked a little bit on the order for new books next week.
