Among Old Poets, 1908, Walter Shirlaw

Daily Thoughts 04/09/2019

I checked the library Twitter and Facebook this morning.

I read some more of The Body Keeps the Score.  I am reading about how emotions and reason work together to keep people whole.  There are three basic reactions to danger, seeking help, fight or flight, and shutting down mentally.

I checked the displays and the gift books.

I also looked through the Ingram Spring 2019 Graphic Novels & Comics booklet.

I checked the mezzanine fiction.  I also spent some time checking the 800s today.

I turned my grant application for the Mount Vernon Arts Initiative today.  I also have another grant which I am waiting on today.  Hopefully, I should be able to type it up soon.

There is a Fundamentals of Computers class and a Beginning Microsoft Word 2013 class in the computer lab today.
