Daily Thoughts 01/04/2019

I finished reading Red Moon by Kim Stanley Robinson last night.  I thought the book was an enjoyable read.  I also liked that one of the characters was pregnant and gave birth at the end.  The politics in the science fiction were very interesting.  This was a near future look at what it might be like to be on the moon in forty years.

I checked the Twitter and Facebook for the library this morning.

I checked the gift books and the displays.

We are having a Rokit Smart class today at the library in the computer lab from 3:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. which is part of the Let's Build Robots program for teens and tweens.

I checked some oversize books today.  I also checked some fiction books in the mezzanine.

I checked the New York Times and the Publishers Weekly Bestseller lists.
