Daily Thoughts 06/07/2018

I checked the library Twitter and Facebook this morning.

I also prepared my final batch of books to bring to the library from Book Expo America.

I read some more of  Principles.  I am reading about how to handle mistakes without blaming people.

I checked the displays and the gift books this morning.

We went spent some time discussing the Community Development Block Grant.  We are going to city hall this evening to make a short presentation.

I distributed the last of the books from Book Expo.

I also worked for a bit on the monthly report for May.  I have a few more statistics which I need.

There is a Beginning Microsoft Excel class tonight from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.

There is also an Ozobots class from 3:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. tomorrow.

I went to the Community Development Block Grant meeting and the Director, Evania Thompson gave a presentation for a grant for some ADA improvements to the building as well as for a Teen Computer Area for the Mount Vernon Public Library.

I spent a little time checking the oversize books.
