Happy Halloween from Kuhrang!!



Spooky Dooky October is here and we have our candy and decorations out at the Library so for linden's sake c'mon down and trick or treat and pick up a few of our new additions to the library.
Thanks to some very Dilligent new members we have a number of new books on the shelves and I am very, very pleased. With the addition of such classics as Ivanhoe, The Iliad and Plato's Republic we move ever closer to the status of a very real and tangable online library. So special thanks to those who have donated and created books for us this month, without you there would be no library!! Keep up the great work!!
Your illustrious library founder also had the increadable luck of meeting one of the authors of the great horror book "Dobbit Do" that we have had on display for some weeks. If you have'nt read this yet I suggest you teleport over right now and get it imeadiatetly!! Its well worth the time and a great addition to any second life book collection!


Also the Third issue of "Orianne Osiris" has hit the stands. To save a few prims at the library I have placed these issues in a vendor. So you may have to spend the grand sum of one linden to get your back issues if you miss any of these exciting installments! Of course if your a member of the Continuum you will receive a free copy in your in world notices, which is just one more reason to join our group! Which, by the way, is and will remain free to do!
I have also created a new book which includes the collected works of "the Dreaming Foundation". With poems and collected thoughts from it's members it is a grand collections of thoughts and dreams from this group of talented artists and dreamers! Well worth picking up and reading and adding to your second life collection of literary art!
Also I suggest you bounce on over to Octoberville and try and catch up with me on the scavenger hunt!! There are great things to see and do and its a fun halloween game to enjoy with friends or that special someone!
To end this update I would also like to steer you toward an interesting blog I ran across this morning dealing with the online collection of books and data that of course concerns me as a proud online librarian. Its worth checking out and giving some thought to the future of information gathering and books in general!
And as a tiny footnote here I can't resist including this!
So HAPPY HALLOWEEN all and I will see you all at the library!!

So instead we will celebrate banned books weekend at the library. come on by and check out our display and get some info on banned and challenged books and what you can do to help us keep information free to all who seek it.
