Slightly old but still in time to post this tidbit about the library where I volunteer:

"Cornelius Public Library was recently named September's "Library of the Month" by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.

"Mary Williams, a public access computer trainer for the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, said the Library of the Month selection is based on a library's efforts to provide public outreach services and computer access to its patrons and the community.

"'Cornelius was chosen because Stephanie [Lind, the director] and her staff are doing a bang-up job in their outreach to the Latino community. They are doing creative things with their partnerships. I was so impressed because she's got it going on.'" [Read more @ Hillsboro Argus]

I help to organize and host the open house event last fall shortly after the systems were installed -- they're constantly in use! Pretty nifty!

Cursor Miner (self-proclaimed "twisted digipop funkmnid extrordinaire") has a "music video" out that promotes libraries.
