Reading, Nicole Vermont, 1919

Daily Thoughts 04/05/2017

I checked the library Twitter and Facebook this morning.

I checked the displays and the gift books this morning.

I spent several hours in the computer lab.  I put in some orders for nonfiction and fiction new books.

The Senior Memoir Writing Class was this morning from 10:30 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.

I read through a copy of Library Journal and Publishers weekly today.  I have a lot more ordering to do.

On the way home, I read some more of New York 2140.  The science in this book is hard.  It seems to be based on plausible advances in technology.
