Daily Thoughts 05/21/2019

I checked the library Twitter and Facebook this morning.

I read some more of Aristotle's Way this morning.  I am reading about how virtue makes people happy.

I checked the displays and the gift books.

Nancy Silberkleit the co-CEO of Archie Comics came in today.  There is going to be a comic con on September 28, 2019 at the library.

I spent some time checking the 900s in the mezzanine.

I also spent some time checking for damaged material in the main floor collection.

I put in the schedule in ADP.  We are working on a longer schedule for the next several months.
