Still Life, Fernand Leger, 1918
 
Daily Thoughts 06/25/2015

I checked the Twitter and Facebook for the library.  I have been posting a variety of things to Constant Contact.

I reviewed the book on the train, The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks by Rebecca Skloot for my book club today from 1:00 p.m. to 2:30 p.m.  The club went well.  We are reading the book, Dead Wake The Last Crossing of the Lusitania by Erik Larson for the next book club on July 23, 2015 from 1:00 p.m. to 2:30 p.m..

The book, Digital Photo Editing With Picasa for Seniors came in for me to read.  It is an overview of Picasa which is a free program for photo editing.

I spent some time working on next months schedule.  I am also planning things for August.  The computer class calendar for July is ready.

We received funding for the Crochet Classes for July from the Friends of the Library.

I am off next week.
