Daily Thoughts 07/28/2019
I checked the library Twitter and Facebook this morning.
I also finished reading The Origins of Scientific Thought by Giorgio De Santillana. It covers how scientific thinking was created. There are stories about how the Greeks borrowed from the Egyptians and the Babylonians. Also how certain philosophies like Stoicism and Epicureanism helped create a scientific mindset. I got to read about Lucretius and Democritis who are the first atomists. I found the book quite interesting. The main focus is on the Greeks.
I placed a hold on the book, 1177 B.C.: The Year That Civilization Collapsed by Eric H. Cline.
I watched the webinar, Promoting Library Card Sign Up Month (from inside and outside the library).

I also bought a set of dominos for the Intergenerational Board Games Night on Monday.
