Daily Thoughts 8/10/2010
On the train to work, I read a little bit more of Mental Health Naturally. The section I read was on the communication; how to talk to yourself so you don't put yourself down as well as change negative conversations. I also took a little bit of time to read some more of Smart Start-Ups. I was reading about how to keep a low profile, ask users for funding, and generate interest in your site.
While reading through Shelf Awareness an email newsletter, I saw an interesting book on books, Bring on the Books for Everybody: How Literary Culture Became Popular Culture by Jim Collins. None of our libraries have it yet. I am going to request it through interlibrary loan.
This morning I spent a little bit of time in the local history room. There is a fairly large photograph collection in there. Many of the photographs are not yet identified. There are also a lot of photographs of our building dating all the way back to its founding. There is even a painting of the library from 1906 with a picture of a horse and buggy in front of the library.
I also spent some time in a meeting for planning the events that are happening in the next two months. We are going to have the Graphic Novels Club and the Brown Bag Book Chat as ongoing events because they have been working so far. I have to work a little bit on better publicity for these events.
I was reading through Publishers Weekly and came across something a little bit unusual. There is a zombie novel written for teenagers written in a haiku style by K.A. Holt and illustrated by Gahan Wilson called Brains For Lunch. It is a curiosity to me to see it in the books for teens section.
