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.
