The Art of Drawing, Eugene Grasset, 1894

Daily Thoughts 11/18/2015

I checked the library Twitter and Facebook this morning.

I read the New York Daily News and the New York Times on the train to work.  It is a little old fashioned, but I like doing it sometimes.

I checked the gift books and the displays.

I also spent a litttle time on programming.  It is mainly plays, concerts, and films for February and March which I am working on.

I spent some time reading the latest New York Review of Books and the Times Literary Supplement.

I cheked out a paperback copy which is a two in one western of Riders of the Purple Sage and The Rainbow Trail by Zane Grey.  I also checked out Creating A Learning Society by Joseph Stiglitz and Bruce C. Greenwalk.  Columbia University houses Joseph Stiglitz's papers.  http://library.columbia.edu/news/libraries/2012/20121009_stiglitz.html
