Woman at a Writing Desk, Lesser Ury, 1898

Daily Thoughts 11/10/2016

I checked the library Twitter and Facebook this morning.

I am almost done reading Jerusalem by Alan Moore.  There is a lot of very caustic material in the book which is quite dark.  There is drug use, rape, and homelessness.  The author does not spare the darker things in life.

I checked the displays and the gift books.  I spent some time ordering replacement titles for some books.  I also read a copy of Booklist and the New York Times.

I wrote my monthly report for November and compiled my monthly statistics.

I spent a little time working on getting together the programs for December.

I spent some time in the lab this afternoon.

There was an Email class tonight from 5;30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.

I had a bit of an epiphany.  I decided to become a member of the ACLU American Civil Liberties Union again.  I also updated my membership to the CBLDF Comic Book Legal Defense Fund.
