Daily Thoughts 03/29/2017

I checked the library Twitter and Facebook this morning.


I read the latest New York Times on the subway to work.

I checked the displays and the gift books today.  I put in several orders of books.  I also put in an order for some e-books.

I worked a little bit on statistics as well.

Today, there is a class on On Organizing Files and Folders for your desktop from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. in the computer lab.

I spent some time working on the 500s.  I also prepared a list for the 600s.

I placed a hold on the book, New York 2140 by Kim Stanley Robinson.

I finished reading Fast Food Nation The Dark Side of the All American Meal by Eric Schlosser.  This is a muckraking expose of the fast food industry.  It is mainly focused on hamburgers and the cattle industry.  The last part tells how McDonald's and other fast food chains are spreading worldwide.
