Daily Thoughts 04/09/2013
This morning, I finished reading Extinction Machine. It was a mix of techno thriller and science fiction. I rather enjoyed the story. I might read the other books in the series.
I checked the Twitter and Facebook for the library. I also checked the gift books and the displays. There were a few books to add from the gift books.
I am thinking about reading The Age of the Image: Redefining Literacy in the Age of Screens by Stephen Apkon. The book is about visual literacy.
I spent a little bit of time checking the 900s as well as the large print collection. Centerpoint Large Print sent us a free sample of of four large print books. I also spent some time working on getting another computer class for Thursdays. We put a sample of the magazine, Bookpage out which is a review magazine for libraries.
We have been working a little bit more on the Booksite page. http://library.booksite.com/7273/nl/?list=CNL7
