1909 Postcard of the Boston Public Library

Daily Thoughts 09/04/2019

I checked the displays and the gift books this morning.

I checked the library Facebook and Twitter this morning.

I read some more of The Library An Illustrated History on the way to work.

I spent some time checking books in the mezzanine.

I checked out the book To Clear Away the Shadows by David Drake which is military science fiction.

I have to check with some people about programming.

I worked on three orders of new books.

I looked through a copy of Publishers Weekly, the New York Times Book Review, and Bookpage. 

I talked with Gwen Jackson of the 3D Cloth Doll Club to ask her to work on a grant with me to teach doll making at the library.

I also worked on scheduling and programming for the library for next month.
