Daily Thoughts 02/05/2017

I checked the Twitter and Facebook for the library this morning.

I went through my email and identified some of the previous programs that we might want to do again.  I also looked through the Arts Westchester list of Teaching Artists  https://artswestchester.org/teaching_artist/teaching-artist/  and the New York State Performers and Programs list for libraries http://performersandprograms.com/  as well as the 2015 Performers Showcase List for Young Adults from the Westchester Library System  http://wikis.westchesterlibraries.org/childrens/?page_id=2096

I watched the cartoon Halo: The Fall of Reach on Hoopla.  The story had lots of action and intrigue however pieces of it were a little more than disturbing.  The back story is one of a kind of exultant militarism based on Spartan ideals.  It reminded me a bit of fascism.  It had that questionable edge like Starship Troopers by Robert Heinlen.I also read two Halo comics on Hoopla.
