Daily Thoughts 03/18/2017

I checked the Twitter and Facebook this morning for the library.

I read some of Unforbidden Pleasures on the way to work.  There is a lot on morality, taboo, and discussion of what is forbidden.

There is an Acrylic Painting Class this morning from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.

I checked the gift books and the displays.

Kenneth Davis was here for the Friends of the Mount Vernon Public Library.  He was discussing his book, Don't Know Much About the Civil War.  He is an excellent speaker.

I spent some time working on orders today.
