Daily Thoughts 05/05/2018

I checked the library Twitter and Facebook this morning

I read some more of The Square and the Tower this morning.  I am reading about the genealogy of Queen Victoria and the family network of the Rothschilds.

I am watching The Archive of American Television Leonard Bernstein Omnibus.  Right now, Leonard Bernstein is commenting Beethoven's 5th Symphony in C.

I watched a streaming video on Kanopy called Putting Customers First which is about library customer service.
