The Library finally has a myspace page! I gave a presentation to the Library Board at one of the board meetings, and they said 'Go ahead! In fact, come back next month so we can see it!' So now I'm just fine tuning and beginning to advertise the fact we have a really nifty looking page. I really like the calendar feature, as well as being able to put up music, video clips, photos, etc. etc. This is 10x better than our regular page (which is a link on the side bar of my blog) and I really hope it will generate interest.

Something else exciting that's happened this week is the cover art for the last Harry Potter book was released! I absolutely love the American version; the British one I'm not so keen on. Both provide great fodder for discussion, though, and if you follow the link to The Leaky Lounge(on the side bar of my blog), you can get in on some interesting theories and predictions. This makes the publication of this book all the closer, and I must admit, I'm getting excited, rather than dreading the end. One snafu I realized, though, is Chip's high school reunion is July 21st...a day I blocked off for reading this last HP! This also complicates what type of programming I'll do at the library as well, as the reunion is in Manitowoc...

And one other thing I've recently discovered is the 50 Book Challenge. Apparently it started on some literary blogs (check out this article) and now people all over the blogging universe are trying it out. I may tote up how many books I've read to see if it's possible (I keep a list of titles and authors, along with the appropriate smiley face for if I liked it or not). I don't know if there are certain rules, like does re-reading count or what size of book is acceptable, but I'm guessing any age can set a goal and do it!
