In the Atelier (Róza Teleki) Miklos Barabas, 1838

Daily Thoughts 08/18/2017

I checked the library Twitter and Facebook this morning.

I read some more of The New Librarianship Field Guide. I am reading about the purpose of libraries. The authors view is very community and service focused.

I checked the displays and the gift books.

I read a copy of Publishers Weekly and a copy of Library Journal. I also looked at the New York Times Bestseller list and the Publishers Weekly Bestseller list.

I did a little work with programming today for flyers.

The 900s are starting to be shifted.

I looked through a few more copies of Publishers Weekly.

I did a display of art books from Arts Resource Transfer today.

We spent some time discussing a planned Author Day for Saturday, October 7, 2017.
