Daily Thoughts 10/23/2014

I checked the library Twitter and Facebook this morning.

Larry Spruill and Donna Jackson will be reading and showing slides from their book, Mount Vernon Revisited on Thursday, October 23, 2014 from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.

On the way to work, I started reading Ancillary Justice.  I am enjoying it.  The main character is an artificial intelligence in a human body which is a bit different.  It is military science fiction.

I checked the displays and the gift books this morning.  I also did some shifting in the 900s.  It is steadily looking better.

I have a new part-time hire who covers the cybercorner in the afternoon who is being trained.  This allows us to open the computer lab for an additional hour every day so we have more computer time for patrons.

I spent some time getting ready for the Mount Vernon Revisited Program.  Poeple are very interested in the book.
