I checked the library Twitter and Facebook this morning.

I spent some time looking over the final assignment for Planning and Management of Library Buildings.  There are a few readings from the class which are available online.

I read some more of Homo Deus.  The author is speculating that people will want to seek out happiness, try and eliminate death, and become superhuman or godlike beings in the future.
