 Daily Thoughts 07/27/2020

 I checked the library Twitter and Facebook group.

Last night, I contacted some people about the phone banking for the census on Wednesday, July 29 from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.

I read some more of Until the End of Time.  I am reading about the difference between quantum physics and Newtonian physics.

I worked on an order for Dear Reader which is a way to generate lists of books online.

I also spent a little more time working on the census.

I spent a little more time working with Curbside Pickup, we now have two late nights until 8:00 p.m. for curbside pickup.
