Kitagawa Utamaro - Young Woman Reading as Older Woman Writes, Circa 1806

Daily Thoughts 08/11/2017

I checked the Twitter and Facebook for the library.


I rested for a little bit on the train, then I read Adding Value to Libraries, Archives, and Museums.  I am reading about collaborating online and sharing information through social media.


I checked the gift books and the displays.

I spent some time discussing the Community Reinvestment Act from the banks as well as some ADA issues.

I spent some time reading through the New York Times Bestseller Lists and the Publishers Weekly Bestseller Lists.

I watched the video of the Westchester Central Library Status committee during lunch.

I turned in my final assignment for the Planning and Management of Library Buildings class today.  It was for a new digital media lab.
