Daily Thoughts 07/31/2014
I checked the Twitter and Facebook this morning.
I checked the displays and the gifts. I also did a bit more work with the planned library survey.
I have to do a little bit of work with the oversize books today. I spent some time talking to a colleague about training.
I found out that in addition to Stan Lee being the honorary chair of National Library Card Sign Up Month in September, the theme for banned books week on September 21-27 is graphic novels.

I put the book, Born Reading Bringing Up Bookworms in the Digital Age by Jason Boog on hold. Jason Boog wrote for Galleycat. I also placed the young adult novel Marina by Carlos Ruiz Zafon on hold. These were in the August edition of Bookpages which I put out today for patrons to look through.
I put in an interlibrary loan request for Customer Based Collection Development by Karl Bridges. This is something that interests me considerably.
