Daily Thoughts 09/11/2019

I checked the library Twitter and Facebook this morning.

I read some of the History of Libraries in the Western World Compact Textbook Edition by Michael H. Harris.  I am reading about Byzantine libraries.

I also read some more of The Jixia Academy and the Birth of Higher Learning in China.  There are some comparisons between different Greek schools of philosophy and how they approached politics.

I checked the displays the gift books this morning.

I spent some time thinking about how to shift books in the main floor of the library.

I put in three orders for new books.  One of the orders included a biography of a comic book artist who used our library.
