Giuseppe Sacconi, Allegory of Poetry, 1789

Daily Thoughts 04/10/2018

I rested on the train to work.

I checked the Twitter and Facebook at the library.

I checked the gift books and the displays this morning.

This month is National Poetry Month.

I placed on several copies of Want Not by Jonathan Miles for our next book club.

I put in two orders for new books this afternoon.

I have a pile of periodicals which I have not gotten to yet.

The Crochet Group met today from 2:30 p.m. to 4:00 p.m.

I spent some time working on the scheduling for the last couple of weeks.  I am putting several full time salaried people into the schedule now.

I worked on the oversize books today.

There is a Fundamentals of Computers Class and a Beginning Microsoft Word Class from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. tonight.

I put some poetry books on display including a few by Audre Lorde.

On the way home, I read some more of Enlightenment Now.  I am reading about how more people are seeking after happiness.
