Daily Thoughts 04/26/2015



The Sands of Time, Thomas Richard Williams, 1850-1852

Daily Thoughts 04/26/2015

I checked the library Twitter and Facebook this morning.  There is going to be an Open House at the Mount Vernon Public Library on Wednesday, May 13, at 6:30 p.m.

We have volunteers who have been entering the survey on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday.

I am looking at the novel Americanah A Novel by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie.

I read some more of The Thrilling Adventures of Lovelace and Babbage.  Babbage's original design for a difference engine had over 4000 mechanical parts to it.  It also used punch cards.

I read some more of Start A Revolution Stop Acting Like a Library.  I am reading about Facebook.  Ben Bizzle reminds people to post twice a day, once in the early morning, and once in the late afternoon.  He also reminds us that we need to take pictures for all our events.  Ten pictures per event is a good number.  He also makes a case for buying Facebook ads.

The Mount Vernon Public Library Foundation is now on Facebook.
