Readers of Newspapers in Naples by Orest Kiprensky, 1831


Daily Thoughts 09/12/2016

I checked the library Twitter and Facebook.

I checked my email.  I also listened to two podcasts for the Grants and Fundraising class today.  I also two articles for the class as well as looked at the weekly assignment.

I read a little bit more of Paper Paging Through History.  I am reading about paper in the American colonies. I learned that the first bible printed in the colonies was in Algonquin.

I placed an interlibrary loan for the book, 40+ New Revenue Sources for Libraries and Nonprofits by Ed Rossman.
