I checked the library Twitter and Facebook Group this morning.

I read some more of Think Like A Monk.  I am reading about relationships.  There are some interesting reflections on celibacy.

I also read some more of Leadership, Strategy, and Tactics.  I am reading about becoming a leader.

I looked through the Graphic Novels & Comics catalog for Ingram.

I also did some weeding in the adult fiction in the mezzanine.
