Pou Friis Nybo (1869-1929), Reading Woman

Daily Thoughts 01/05/2019

I checked the library Twitter and Facebook this morning.

I placed a hold on Soft Power: The Means to Success In World Politics by Joseph S. Nye, Jr.

Last night, I read some more of Capitalism In America: A History.  I also started reading  The Secret Lives of Color by Kassia St. Clair.  I am reading about pigments for painting.  I also learned about how paint tubes made Impressionism possible.

I listened to some more of The Little Book of Hygge on Overdrive.  I am reading about why bicycles make people happy.

I spent a little more time working on the Givegab campaign for the library.
