Paul Gaugin's Armchair, Vincent Van Gogh, 1888

Daily Thoughts 10/21/2014

I checked the Twitter and Facebook for the library this morning.

On the way to work, I read some more of A Slip of the Keyboard.  Terry Pratchett's writing is light and enjoyable.  He is writing about different elements in fantasy like fan fiction and elves.  He confirmed something interesting about him.  He wrote public relations for the nuclear power industry in England.

This morning, I checked the gift books and the displays.  I also did some shifting in the 900s. We got some new book ends which helps with shifting.  I am hiring a new part-time clerk to cover the cybercorner (public computers) in the afternoons.

I registered for the a webinar on the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act on October 27, 2014 at 2:00 p.m.
