Daily Thoughts 06/19/2012

On the way to work, I read some more of The Object Oriented Thought Process. Object oriented thinking covers programs like Java, Javascript, C, C++, UML, CSS, and XML.  It is helping me understand the basic instructions on how to learn Javascript.

I also read a bit more of Online Community Management for Dummies.  It is about how to manage communities online from the perspective of a person who is working for a company.  A lot of it is about how to promote a community, communicate to people in a professional way, and handle difficult interactions.

This morning, I updated the Facebook and Twitter accounts for the library, checked the gift books, and picked out some more books for the current events and biography display.

I spent a little time thinking about the Adult Summer Reading program.  I am starting to gather books for the "book lovers bag,"  and have started work on a display for Adult Summer Reading.

I also spent some time looking through bestseller lists and double checking the collection management sheets for patron requests.

The computer classes are tonight.  They are having very solid attendance.
