Google Shakespeare?

Google set up a page where users can read through Shakespeare's plays online.
The page is here: http://books.google.com/googlebooks/shakespeare (new window).
The page in honor of Shakespeare in the Park, held in our very own Central Park.
So if you like reading books online, this could be a great page. Otherwise, it's just an interesting idea.

Welcome Back!

Welcome back!
Don't forget -- all of your text books are on reserve at the Circulation Desk. Just ask for them by title. You can use them for two hours at a time inside of the Library.

Telephone Reference

The Times had an article on New York Public Library's telephone reference service (new window).
That's a service where you can call and ask a librarian a quick question (they don't go more than five minutes). Interestingly, a third of their "calls" now come from either chat or email.
Which is a good reminder that we have our own email service, which you can see here: http://www.lagcc.cuny.edu/library/forms/ask.htm.
And just as a note to the Times: All three of the city's public libraries have telephone reference services!

Travel Blog

LaGuardia's own Nya Naikyemi S. Odedefaa is travelling in Egypt and keeping a wonderful blog with both photos AND video. Oh. And writing, too. It's a really beautifully assembled blog that makes you feel like you're out there with Nya.
You can see the blog here: http://iyatala.blogspot.com (new window).
I love a lot about the Internet, but one of my favorite things about it is how it lets anyone be a newspaper and lets us all share experiences.
