Georg Achen, Interior With Reading Woman, 1896

Daily Thoughts 06/13/2015

I checked the library Twitter and Facebook this morning.

I checked the gift books and the displays this morning.

I printed up some flyers.

I read a copy of the New York Times Book Review and got a few orders ready for next week.  I also looked at some prepublication titles from Library Journal.

I spent a little time working on schedules.

On the way home, I read some more of The View from the Cheap Seats.  I like reading about Neil Gaiman's early obsession with books, science fiction, and libraries.  There is a lot about the writing life and the reading life in this book.
