Daily Thoughts 10/02/2018

I checked the library Twitter and Facebook this morning.

I read some more of Palaces for the People on the way to work.  I am reading about how cleaning up abandoned buildings and empty lots leads to reduced crime and better neighborhoods.

I checked the displays and the gift books this morning.

I spent some time working on orders for new books.  I also read the latest copy of the New York Times Book Review.

I checked through some items that were listed as not in the system.  I also looked over some items with very low circulation.

I read the latest copy of Booklist.  I placed a hold on The Labyrinth of the Spirits by Carlus Ruiz Zafon.
