Time to Relax....a bit

I finished all my basic reference resource reviews! All 22 of them have been reviewed. It was a really good experience since it showed me new resources that I hadn't used before and have already used since I first started exploring those resources. Now that I've done that and there is a bit of a break for LATI I have time to relax and throw together a couple story time boxes and hopefully shift everything in the J non-fiction section so I can interfile the rest of the J reference books. But the holiday break is nice. I am very excited about Christmas and some of the gifts I got for certain people.

A Whole New Mind

If a patron asked me about the book this is the summary I would give them:

It's a look at the direction of the career market of the future and what skills will be most rewarded. The book also explains which type of person, left brain or right brain, would most likely possess those skills.

My questions for Daniel H. Pink from each chapter are:

Chapter 1-Do you think there will one day be a computer with right brain abilities?
Chapter 2-What about left-brain jobs that need to be done in person like the computer repair done by geek squad?
Chapter 3-Don’t we always need some left brain and right brain people such as painters during the industrial age or politicians in the more left brain directed past?
