Daily Thoughts 08/25/2016

I checked the library Twitter and Facebook this morning.

I spent some time discussing the Librarian I position with people.

I checked the displays and the gift books this morning.

I am making sure the room is set up for the program tonight featuring Nicole Dennis-Benn.  The program went very well tonight.  Nicole Dennis-Benn read a number of excerpts from her book, Here Comes the Sun. She also mentioned Marlon James which was interesting.  There was open period for questions and answers.

There was also a Social Media class this evening from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.
