I am taking a short break from reading.  I checked the library Twitter and Facebook this morning.

I also spent a bit looking at grants. In addition, I am thinking about taking a digital asset class through Metro.   We have some very interesting images up on our website:

From the Edge of Our History—Library in Pictures

I watched the first season of Falling Skies which is a science fiction television show.  It was a chance to turn my mind off a bit and escape.  I took it out of the library.  I have done this for the first season of Star Trek.  It is a bit of a break from what I usually do.

I spent a little time watching Lynda.com training videos today.
