Daily Thoughts 10/19/2018
I checked the library Twitter and Facebook.
I read some more of The Labyrinth of the Spirits last night. I am finding to be a captivating, enjoyable book. The Cemetery of Forgotten Books in the story is very well done. Some people describe the book as a modern gothic novel.
I checked the displays and the gift books.
I worked on orders for new books. I read the latest New York Times Bestseller List and Publishers Weekly Bestseller list. I also read the Ingram Advance and the Ingram Advance for Biography and History as well as the Ingram Holiday catalog.
We had a staff meeting where we discussed weeding, shelf reading, and inventory.
I spent a little more time discussing the signage.
I also talked with a colleague about our literacy program.
My desk is starting to pile up.
