Woman Reading A Book on the Beach, James Jebusa Shannon, 1891-1896
Daily Thoughts 02/18/2017
I checked the library Twitter and Facebook this morning.
On the way to work, I read some more of Moonglow by Michael Chabon. I am reading about how Michael Chabon's grandfather who is Jewish was part of the allied OSS operational secret service and was responsible for finding nazi scientists and taking them to the United States. It reads a little bit like a tall tale or yarn.
I checked the gift books and the displays this morning. I also read the New York Times Bestseller list and the Publishers Weekly Bestseller list.
We had Bujo James Williams teach an acrylic painting class this morning from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. in the Fiction room. There were a dozen people who attended.
