Daily Thoughts 05/02/2017

I checked the library Twitter and Facebook this morning.

I checked the displays and the gift books this morning.

I spent some time working on a grant today.  I am almost ready to hand it in.

We had the Crochet Group today from 2:30 p.m. to 4:00 p.m.

Quite a few people are signing up for the computer classes.

There is a Fundamentals of Computers class and a Beginning Microsoft Word class tonight.

I read a copy of the New York Times on the way home.
