Daily Thoughts 10/05/2012
This morning, I read through part of the vocabulary section of Madrigal's Magic Keys to Spanish. I also checked the Twitter and Facebook accounts for the library. Tomorrow we are having the Mount Vernon Animal Shelter come. They are doing a pet food drive at the library from October 1-6, and on Saturday are showing some cats and dogs for adoption.
I put some books on cats on dogs in the display next to the circulation desk with a colleague. I also checked the displays and the gift books. The Friends of the Mount Vernon Public Library are sorting through donations right now for the book sale.
I also did a bit of ordering focused on computer books, drawing books, popular nonfiction, and career books.
Today has been a quiet day.
On the way home, I started reading Savvy Dealing with People, Power and Politics at Work by Jane Clarke. One of the library patrons recommended that I read it. I am reading about the difference between making reactive and proactive decisions. It is about being prepared.
