Daily Thoughts 11/18/2017
I checked the library Twitter and Facebook this morning.
Yesterday, I read some more of Finish Give Yourself the Gift of Done. I am reading about how we sabotage our goals by focusing on things which we don't want to do and often find no joy in.
I placed a hold on Winning Elections and Influencing Politicians for LIbrary Funding by John Chrastka and Patrick "PC" Sweeney on hold.
I am watching the show How Does the Brain Work narrated by Neal De Grasse Tyson. They have a segment on Watson the supercomputer and Jeopardy. It looks like Watson might eventually make a good reference tool in libraries.
The fundraising campaign for Lets Build Robots is up on the Mount Vernon Public Library Website.
