Week 5 -- Library Elf

This is the service I have recommended to my friends and users. It is free and takes only a few minutes to set up. You can set up one Elf account to manage the whole family's library accounts, even from different library systems. If your regular email server blocks the incoming emails sent from the library, this is the best alternative.

Week 3 -- Load pic to Flickr -- Tan your mind and body on the beach

Just read this on Pubic Libraries July/August 2007 issue. (Sorry, no electronic copy available. The picture was scanned and placed on Flickr.) An Australia library has launched its "Wheelbarrow Library " to promote reading, relaxation and library services to visitors and residents.

Couple times a week, depending on the availability of staff, sunscreen, and hats, library staff can be seen on the beach pushing a bright orange wheelbarrow full of withdrawn books. All beachgoers are invited to rummage through the barrow and select a book to read while they enjoy the beautiful summer weather. They believe people are able to improve their mind as well as their tans!
