redo #22

i tried OverDrive and MyLibraryDV on overdrive you can get just about any book, put a hold on it or get the ebook, it was very easy and all you need is a library card in good standing. i got kingdom keepers by Ridley Pearson a book set at Walt Disney World. the kids get turned into holograms and go on adventures thru the park... i also recommend the next 2 books in the series. On MyLibraryDV you can download movies to watch on your computer or anything that has an internet connection, you can also download them onto DVD's or put them on a MP3 Player. you can find allmost any movie at the click of a button. this is a good thing for the library. i believe it helps to serve our patrons because they have access to more of something they want especially if it is checked out or we just dont have it. it also helps the library because people cannot loose or steal these items.

http://feeds.feedburner.com/billythegoatisawesome I liked this one because of its name, its about a goat that goes on different adventures thru learning the bible. http://www.britannica.com/blogs/2008/10/library-ghosts-midwestern-us/ -- this one is really cool!!!-- this link talks about Haunted Libraries SPOOKY! cool! lets take a feild trip. there were many different podcasts, some were about commonly missused and overused words, others would teach French, Chinese or Spanish, and there were others for sports, traveling & food. i think some would be useful to people because they are free and can be accessed from any computer.
