Daily Thoughts 04/18/2019

I checked the library Twitter and Facebook this morning.

I checked the displays and the gift books.

We are restarting the Give Gab campaign for MVPL Bridging the Digital Divide.

I also spoke to someone about doing an entrepreneurship program.

I checked some of the fiction books in the mezzanine.

I read some more of The Map of Knowledge on the way home.  I am reading about Toledo where many of the Arabic translations of classical knowledge were translated back into Latin for Christian scholars during the middle ages.

I also read some more of The Body Keeps the Score.  I am reading about how yoga helps stress and trauma both for post traumatic stress and abuse.
