Daily Thoughts 05/24/2019
I checked the library Twitter and Facebook this morning.
I read some more of Aristotle's Way on the way to work. I am reading about concepts around self knowledge and emotions.
I also finished reading Loonshots How to Nurture Crazy Ideas That Win Wars, Cure Diseases, and Transform Industries by Safi Bahcall. I am reading about why the industrial revolution occurred the west rather than in Asia which had many similar technologies.
I checked the displays and the gift books this morning.
I did some checking of the fiction books in the mezzanine, damaged books, and biography books.
I also finished packing up my desk so they can work on the technical services room.
Today is the Friends of the Mount Vernon Public Library Book and Bake Sale. I stopped by and got a pumpkin muffin and a cup of coffee. I also bought three books and three very nice blank journals.
I checked the New York Times Bestseller list and the Publishers Weekly Bestseller list.
I spent some time at the public computer desk.
