Castle Library Has New Free Books

The Castle Library at Rachelville has 36 new titles on the first floor of the castle... all set to "free to copy." Each book contains a link to a gutenberg.org or archive.org web page with various options for viewing. Many of the books also have note cards with complete text of the book. All have colorful covers designed by a volunteer.
Soooo... if you'd like a nice collection of book linkers in your SL library or your personal parcel please stop by and "check out" some of our books.... for keeps! We also have a large collection of children's classics on the second floor donated by the Caledon Library. They are also "free to copy."

Here's a SLURL for both the Alphabet Garden and the Castle of Dreams.

ALA Island Offers Help to New Second Life Visitors

The ALA Island is the Second Life virtual world presence of the American Library Association. ALA Island doesn’t have traditional library resources, but is more of a special library focused on dispensing information about ALA, along with being a kind of community information center, helping people become more familiar with navigating the Second Life virtual world and demonstrating its capabilities to bring together people from all over the country (and all over the world) to inform them in a variety of ways, including through audiovisual media, about various aspects of librarianship, including literacy and reading, and censorship and intellectual freedom, thereby expanding and extending what libraries are and what libraries can do.
