Daily Thoughts 01/10/2014
This morning, I checked the Twitter and Facebook for the library. I also checked the news on the city budget. The budget hearing at 7:00 p.m. will be live streamed tonight. http://new.livestream.com/CMVNY/Meetings
On the way to work, I read some more of Strategy A History. Lawrence Freedman is writing about the strategy of revolution and the development of professional revolutionaries. He writes about the Jacobins, Marx, Engel, Bakunin and many other revolutionary leaders.
This morning, I checked the displays and the gift books. We had a management meeting this morning where we discussed a variety of issues. We are working on redesigning the Mount Vernon Public Library website. It is a work in progress right now. http://www.mountvernonpubliclibrary.org
This afternoon, I printed some flyers for the computer classes.
I also compiled the monthly statistics for December and wrote the monthly departmental report.
