Daily Thoughts 09/03/2020

I checked the library Twitter and Facebook Group this morning.

I read some more of Moonshots.  I am reading about the entrepreneurial mindset which focuses on attempting breakthroughs.

I checked some books to see if they were in the proper location.

I posted some more on social media about the census.

We are almost finished with the census bags which we give out as part of Curbside Pickup.
