Daily Thoughts 04/18/2015
This morning, I read some more of The Blue Zones Solution. I am reading about how social connections, personal interests, and attending church extend longevity.
I also started reading Clash of Eagles by Alan Smale. This is an alternate history novel. The setting is a Rome that did not fall invading North America and losing its first major battle against the natives. The description of a Roman legion in 1248 c.e. is interesting.
I checked the Twitter and Facebook for the library this morning. I spent some more time looking at our libraries statistics.
I handed out a few more paper copies of the Mount Vernon Public Library survey this morning.
I checked the displays and the gift books this morning.
The book Curiosity by Alberto Manguel came in for me to read.
I spent some time looking at collection policies for committee work. I also got contacted by someone for the Latino Americans 500 Years of History Grant.
I spent some time working on the order for new books next week.
