Beautiful photos, Laura.

Last night at our Friends of the Library meeting I found out that the library is going to offer ebooks for download but they aren't compatible with a Kindle.  hmmmm

The downloadable books at the library system here cannot be used on an iPod, just MP3 players. Sounds like the same thing. The software was probably developed outside Kindle, and Kindle just won't let it be compatible. Besides Amazon would lose all those sales.

Last night at our Friends of the Library meeting I found out that the library is going to offer ebooks for download but they aren't compatible with a Kindle.  hmmmm

Hmm.  When I was at Barnes and Noble looking at their version it was connected with our library system.  My library website does not mention that I can directly download to it. 

Library2Go is a service that allows you to download audio books, eBooks, and videos to your computer, and then transfer to your MP3 player, iPod/Mac devices, eBook devices, or burn them to CD.

Maybe you can also download to your computer & then to your Kindle.  Seems like extra work to me.

Our library is going to be undergoing a major renovation starting I believe this spring or summer.  I'm very anxious to see what they do. 

I'm on the Friends board.  We basically collect thousands and thousands of books and sell them for 10 days in the spring.  Apparently we have more this year than ever before and still have several months to collect books.   It's sort of a neat process, the books are donated in a variety of places, the library goes through them and keeps some of the best that they don't have and puts them on the shelves then puts the rest on the sale.

Our library used OverDrive, also.  I had to place some orders last week and it's pretty easy...it wasn't intuitive (my former supervisor showed me how to order), but it's easy.

I think this is a fun project

Library Welcomes Read-to-me Dogs

The popular read-to-me story dogs return to The Wilbur Aalfs (Main) Library on Saturday, October 2 for a series of fall visits. As part of the K-9  S.T.A.R.S. animal assisted therapy group, each dog has completed special training and passed a temperament test. Children of all ages may select their favorite books and read aloud to these gentle canine listeners from 2-3pm on any Saturday through December 4—no appointment necessary. (Exception: the dogs will be in costume at the Morningside Branch on Saturday, October 30 from 2-3pm.)

They're just starting it, so they decided to put the full specs out before people go out and get a reader that isn't compatible

Happy Birthday, Skip!

Condolences to DR ELMORE on the loss of his friend.

[Jrand73]

Shocking news, DR DRUXY.....and it seems totally random.

One night it late October
When I was far from sober,
Returning to my home with manly pride.

My feet began to stutter
So I lay down in the gutter,
And a pig came up and lay down by my side.

A lady passing by
Was Heard to say:
"You can tell a man who boozes
  By the company he chooses."
And the pig got up
And slowly walked away.

Here is our library's TRL Download Collection homepage (you don't need to log in to browse).  We have downloadable music, videos, e-books, talking books and even some iPod-compatible talking books.

[Jrand73]

Lovely photos from DR LAURA....this time I am sure!

[Jrand73]

Loved DR JMK's Blanche and BeeGee story.....

[Jrand73]

I am going to watch a BluRay movie.....but I am not sure which one yet......

HD TV is not Gwyneth Paltrow's friend.

My niece (18 months) has roseola.  I'd never even heard of this.  But on Friday she had a fever. And when she went to the doctor the doctor said that she had another ear infection. But her fever stayed high on Saturday and Sunday (which should not really happen if you are on antibiotics). Well today she got a rash all on her back and neck and face.  Apparently this is quite common in kids 6months-2 years of age.

Oy the joys of daycare. The kid had not one illness till she started there.

Thanks for the link to your library download page, George

It is thoughtful of them to do so.

Watching "Strangers on a Train" tonight. I think this is my favorite Hitchcock, but I haven't seen it in years. Creepy and just right for Patricia Highsmith.

[Laura]

Aww. I hope your niece recovers quickly, Jennifer.

I just checked the kittens' ID numbers online. It looks like only Spats is left.

Well, I need to leave and go to my sister's.  We had a strong windstorm last night and the power at my condo went off for about a second, three times.  Everything seemed to be okay and was fine this morning.  My sister's power went off last night until about noon today...but her upstairs still has problems.  I'm going over to see if turning off her fuses will help.  She doesn't want to be the one to do it, so I will. 

After that, I'm going home to watch last week's episode of "Glee," then tonight's episodes of "Glee" and "No Ordinary Family."

Be back later!

[George]

But before I go...
