    WIKIPEDIA AND OPEN LIBRARIES
    Yes, the library is open today as usual, as is just about everything else.

    Meanwhile, there was an article in the Boston Globe about using Wikipedia as a source for papers and such. Now I'll admit, I am a visitor to the site and am often amazed at the amounts of information collected there. However, since it is a free and open source, there are many opportunities for misleading unsuspecting souls down a dangerous path of misinformation.

    We have a couple of new graphic novels (Ultimate X-Men 10 and Star Wars Empire 7) and two new books on CD: Endymion Spring and Coraline (which is read by Neil Gaiman and has original music by the Gothic Archies). Our collection just keeps on growing -- check back to see what we get Saturday!

    POLLS
    Our February Hearts poll only has two more days to be posted -- make sure to put in your vote! Then check back to see which book title won and to vote in the next poll! Another one's coming soon!
