  Danbury Public Library joins LibraryThing
How cool is this? Danbury Public Library (CT) is the first library in the country to join LibraryThing: http://www.newstimeslive.com/news/story.php?id=1056353&source=tabbox

I have heard other librarians moaning in ecstasy about how wonderful LibraryThing is, but I never made the time to check it out. You can bet that I will now.

And by the way, how did I find out about Danbury PL? I set up personalized news searches on Google for articles that contain either public library or public libraries. Then I just check my personalized GoogleNews page. It is a very cool use of technology.
