  Man Reading (Father), Walter Grammate, 1917 Daily Thoughts 09/25/2020 I checked the Facebook Group and the Twitter for the library. I read some more of The Catalogue of Shipwrecked Books.  The title comes from an experience where the author had put together a catalogue of books.  However, many of the books were lost in a shipwreck. I worked on two orders of new books. I spent a little more time preparing for the census. A colleague and I discussed programming. I checked some damaged books. I also suggested some items to be moved to the mezzanine.
