L'album, Jules Ernest Renoux (1863-1932)

Daily Thoughts 04/10/2015

I checked the library Twitter and Facebook this morning.  I also have been posting a bit on these places about the survey.  187 people have taken it.  20 people have viewed it.  Please take the survey if you are in Westchester county. https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/PXYDLNH

I read the e-book, Unexpected Stories by Octavia Butler.  It consists of two stories and is 130 pages long.  There is an introduction by Walter Mosley and a short biographical summary of her life with pictures at the back of the book.  One of the stories, Childminder was originally written for an anthology by Harlan Ellison that was never released.  The two stories are superb pieces of science
fiction.

I watched a webinar called Planning an Adult Program on a Budget on Webjunction today.
