Daily Thoughts 08/10/2017
I checked the library Twitter and Facebook today.
I read a little bit more of The Joy of Less today. I am reading about cleaning up living rooms.
I also read some more of Adding Value to Libraries, Museums, and Archives. I am reading about large electronic content aggregators like the Digital Public Library of America and The Internet Archive. I read a little bit more of The New Librarianship Field Guide. A central idea in this book is that librarians work to create knowledge through conversations.
I worked a little bit on schedules.
I checked the gift books and the displays. I spent some time looking over oversize books.
I also spent some time checking on the Adult Summer Reading Program. The Adult Summer Reading Finale is on August 23rd at 6:00 p.m.. Cookie Thomas will be performing at the finale.
I looked at http://www.libraryreads.org today.
I did a list of Children's Books for Bookletters as well as a list of Young Adult books for Bookletters.
I also spent an hour looking through library policies.
There is a video of the Central Library Study Committee for tonight.
