Daily Thoughts 08/10/2012
This morning, I finished looking through Difficult Conversations How To Discuss What Matters Most. I also checked the displays and the gift books. There were a few books worth adding. I also checked the Twitter and Facebook pages for the library.
I did a little shopping for the End of Summer Literary Tea Party which is for the entrants of the Annual Adult Summer Reading Contest from 2:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m..
The End of Summer Literary Tea Party went well. We gave out certificates to people who participated. We also gave a book to each person who came to the party. I had green tea and some social tea biscuits. People discussed different books that they read during the summer including titles like Home by Toni Morrison and I am Forbidden by Anouk Markovits. We also raffled off a bag of books.
Library Journal sent me a batch of Advanced Reading Copies. One which seemed particularly interesting is Full Body Burden Growing Up in the Nuclear Shadow of Rocky Flats by Kristen Iversen.
I checked out Berlitz Essential Spanish and See It and Say It In Spanish.
