Daily Thoughts 03/16/2017

I checked the library Twitter and Facebook this morning.

Last night, I started reading Unforbidden Pleasures by Adam Phillips.

I checked the displays and the gift books this morning.  I also put in a few orders of books.

I contacted St. Paul's Historical Church in Mount Vernon about doing a program at the Mount Vernon Public Library in July.

I am working on changing the location of some of the short stories to the mezzanine or storage area.  Also, I am having a person examine all the short story books.

I am also checking the 800s.

There was a smartphone class from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. tonight.
