Freedom of Speech, Norman Rockwell, 1945

Daily Thoughts 08/25/2019

I checked the library Twitter and Facebook this morning.

I read The Library of Alexandria by Kelly Trumble on Hoopla.  It is about the people and inventions that were at the Library of Alexandria.

I also read Ancient Libraries by James Westfall Thompson.  It is about libraries through classical Rome.  It focuses on the early development of libraries in the west.
