Daily Thoughts 07/09/2020

This is my second post as Start Over At the Beginning.  I am just warming up today with a public journal.  Part of the reason I wrote my old blog, Book Calendar was that I wanted to keep a public log of what I was doing.  I no longer feel that it is necessary.

I got a new webcam today.  I am still not that familiar with it.  It might take me some time to get used to it.

I am also planning to go to a conference in September online, the Library Advocacy and Funding Conference on September 14 through September 16.  https://www.everylibrary.org/lafconintro

This should be both interesting and useful.  I am going to focus a little more on highlights of what I am doing and less on the mundane things which I do every day.

Also, the imagery will change.  It will be a little more about my daily mood.

I am not going to just list articles any more as well.  I read a little bit of library literature every single day.

I looked through the Libby App on Overdrive but did not find anything which I wanted to read.  I checked out the book, Martha Stewart's Organizing The Manual for Bringing Order to Your Life, Home, & Routines.  I like to pretend that I can bring order to my own life.  I am like many librarians, I like to organize other peoples things, not so much my own.

I spent some time working on updating a marketing plan for the library which a colleague wrote.  I added a few things focused on government and community based organizations.

Today has been a bit challenging.  I went to the supermarket and had to bring my own bags because I like to walk there and back.  I bought the bags from the local Korean 99 cents store.  They have flower prints all over them.  The last time I went, they only had cheap paper bags which I really could not carry that easily.

I also printed some flyers for the census to distribute tomorrow.  We plan on walking up and down Gramatan avenue in Mount Vernon, New York to give them to the stores.
