Daily Thoughts 10/11/2016

I checked the library Twitter and Facebook this morning.

I checked the gift books and the displays.  I have to replace a few flyers.

I spent some time working on the holiday books.

I also read a a copy of the New York Review of Books and a copy of the New York Times Book Review.

There is the Crochet Club today from 2:30 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. in the Fiction Room.  There is also the Adult Coloring Book Club from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. and a Fundamentals of Computers and a Beginning Microsoft Word class in the computer lab.
