Helene Blowers writes: http://www.librarybytes.com/2007/09/license-to-play.html One of all things I love seeing most it’s the creativity and fun that other libraries have add to their own programs. Today, I stumbled across the “@ play” signs for Lee County’s Play to Learn program and it totally made me laugh out loud. How cool is it to get a “License to Play” from the Library Director? Take a look at Lee County’s “Play to Learn:” http://library-playtolearn.blogspot.com/
Brenda Hough, Technology Consultant, Northeast Kansas Library System, writes: I just wanted to let you know about a new project we are starting here in NEKLS. The project is a book discussion for people working in libraries, focused on emerging trends in the intersection of society, libraries, and technology.

Library 2.0 Socks Originally uploaded by mstephens7 I owe a lot of folks a hearty THANK YOU for all sorts of assistance and kindness these past few months.

I commented in the talk how cool it was to see an online connection transform into a real world connection – and Don was knitting during the talk. Those socks became the L2 socks. 🙂 Thanks Don! http://yarmando.blogspot.com/2007/06/library-20-socks.html
Jessica writes to TTW: Hello, I’m a student at the Library School at UNC-Chapel Hill and a reader of Tame the Web. SNMNMNM, a indie-pop band based here in Chapel Hill, has a new album coming out, “Crawl Inside Your Head,” and the first single, “Addy Will Know,” is all about a librarian. The great thing is that it’s not about a librarian being a stereotype or even a love interest…it’s all about a librarian serving an information need. They are launching a “reference stumper” type contest to win a copy of the new CD, and are issuing a call […]
