Daily Thoughts 6/3/2011


I started reading Founding Gardeners by Andrea Wulf.  It is about the agrarian ideal in the founding of the United States. Andrea Wulf writes about the passion which the founders had for farming, botany, and gardening.


This morning, I updated the Twitter account, checked the displays, and am working on a policy for ereaders.  I also took some time put some more material in the book sale and checked the calendar of events to make sure everything is in order.
